      Pros

      CSX has an inspirational CEO who genuinely cares about customers, employees, and the community. The company offers great benefits, a solid tuition reimbursement program, wellness benefit, and some opportunities for hybrid work. The headquarters gym is excellent, and employees have access to free snacks, which is a nice perk.

      Cons

      Performance management and promotion opportunities are heavily influenced by favoritism. Career growth is very limited, if it exists at all. There's continuous pressure to do more with fewer resources, which can be exhausting. The work environment feels very stuffy, traditional, and not dynamic, making innovation and adaptability challenging.

      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.
