      Current Employee

      Internal and external politics is nasty. Avoid.

      Pros

      Great benefits, office job hours are great for work-life balance. Which you need because you won't love your job here.

      Cons

      Little opportunity or support for growth. Office politics is nasty, too much inter-departmental bickering. Management is the Peter Principle in action.

      Pros

      Great Benefits and if you enjoy working with Trains and by yourself it is a great job

      Cons

      Long shifts and extra board may take a while to build seniority and bid on another position. I worked the midnight shift for the first two years

      Pros

      Great benefits. Pay, medical, pension, 401K all better than most places. Stable.

      Management is adversarial. Nepotism is rampant. Systems outdated. Culture not great.
