Wabtec offers good benefits. There are some great people working there. Building locomotives from the ground up is pretty interesting.

Cons

Pay is below average. There is no bonus plan for most employees. Company is lagging in technology development and this is likely to present challenges going forward.Internal business systems need serious updating and this poses another challenge going forward.

Pros

Very interesting work, market competitive for a non-union shop

Cons

No training structure, learn by doing, which depends on who you work with. Lack of drive from coworkers to finish projects. Definitely going through a transition period, but new shop manager has better vision for future.
