Business outlook
Pros
Railroad retirement is much better than Social Security. If you can stay long enough to retire. Hours can be flexible, and telecommuting can be an option but is totally dependent on your manager. This leads to some being allowed flexibility and others not.
Cons
Extra 4.9% taken from your check for railroad retirement. IT department reorganizes every couple of years, resulting in layoffs. Management is a bit incestuous with promotions and hiring. The vendor relationship is backwards. The vendors have more say in what goes on in the IT department than the employers do
