Pros

CSX offers a fair salary - and excellent benefits (including railroad retirement). The leadership at the top of the company is excellent - and in recent years cash bonuses have been sizeable. Engineering Department is well ran and resources for our work have been growing.

Cons

Those in the Operations department work long and unpredictable hours. Physical positions can be demanding. Opportunities for promotion are limited in some departments, and there are some examples of people doing the same job with different titles (and different salaries)

Pros

Fair minded and supportive management. Not directly involved in RR management, so did not have the same hours or demands as many do.

Cons

None really--large publicly held company. Working on a contract basis, so can't speak to benefits.

Pros

Simple business model which is dependent on customer service.

Cons

Board is run by an Activist Investor. Company officers for the past 10 year have been bleeding off company assets and reducing operational capabilities in exchange for short term valuations. Many of these senior leaders were brought in with documented history of sexual misconduct and questionable corporate ethics. Their only qualification they need is that they were former managers under the Hunter Harrison regime at Canadian National.
