Pros

Wide variety of work in both office and field positions across the system.

Cons

Rampant layoffs have left the remaining employees in a state of fear and distrust. Promotions up the corporate ladder are either very rapid or non-existent. The current CEO is a true empty suit with lots of charisma but zero field experience. His obsession over obtaining an artificial, never before achieved in the industry Operating Ratio target ("Grow to 55" what a joke) to the exclusion of everything else is leaving the once great company in ruins.

Pros

No experience needed, decent pay. Some ok people.

Cons

Starting low seniority will have you moved all around the state potentially. Managers actively try to get you fired in some cases.
