Pros

If you make it to retirement, Csx has a good retirement plan.

Cons

Built up expectation only for a let down (don’t make as much money as they say you will!) , crew callers are so rude and inconsiderate (clearly from lack of training), crew callers call for job even though you aren’t on that job (felt like I constantly had to play the game), management is trained to fire you, Cleveland is a young terminal so seniority will not grow for a lot of years - so good luck not being laid off! My advice is don’t waste your time and find a company that cares about its employees.

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.
