R.J. Corman Railroad – “Pretty on the outside.”

Pros

It's considered the "best" place to work in the small town, until you work there and realize that upper management is so scared of the owner which is always around that they press their employees to hard to impress the boss.

Cons

When you work at the corporate office your expected to do odd jobs on the "farm" to please the owner, when the jobs performed are clearly not even in the same stratosphere as your listed job duties. Not to mention your always on call for the whimsy of the owner.

Advice to Senior Management

Not be so scared of the owner. It's easily recognizable that you don't know how to say no to him, even though your workforce is already stretched thin. Sometimes your "crew" just wants to see you stand up for them for once.
