Pros
There is good market rate pay, and good benefits that look good on paper if you are there long enough to vest.
Cons
want life outside of work(preserve a marriage or relationship with your children)- look elsewhere want to see good leadership and vision- you won't find it there fear is the motivation tool of choice- you will have a hard time booking your vacation due to every daily emergency and deadline - if you possess leadership skills, better check them at the door, because the culture won't tolerate leadership, thought, or innovation Management has little integrity, and even less follow-through, managers will tell you that the anual ethics training module from the training department, should only take a couple of minutes, very fitting insight. Position power rules- have yet to see someone use there personal power to motivate their employees HR is weak, cannot be trusted by the employees to do right by them Culture and values are good on paper but not applied in the workplace Lots of policy and politics, there is probably a rule for that somewhere and another policy contradicting it, what? you didn't get the latest memo? Well we have a cure for that. As romantic and nostalgic as trains there will be no mutual feelings held for the employee by management.
