Pluspunten
Good pay and benefits. Nice pension. The railroad is now a stable industry for the first time in decades. Also, lots of improvement to the track structure this year - better late than never!
Minpunten
It takes years to acquire enough seniority to hold a regular job. But worst of all, labor-management relations are awful. CSXT was certainly too lenient in previous generations, but it is now overly strict, to the point of sheer lunacy. Managers are required to find fault and put employees into formal investigations over the smallest things, or they can forget about being promoted. I can't imagine how much money is lost because management is sucking the initiative out of good workers. The management training program turns bright young men into scared, arrogant fools. Lastly, positions are cut and rationalized before the technology to do so is perfected, often resulting in collisions, damage and injuries.
