Pros

job security is the only thing keeping me there.

Cons

back stabbing, vindictive, grudge bearing managers. Plenty of letters after names for their degrees etc, but absolutely no common sense and are blinkered in a blame culture within the company.

Pros

The corporate benefits are great - if you have an office based job. If you are on shifts, then there are zero opportunities in general; there are pockets of good practice but it's a dreadful place. Can't drink, allocated your holidays, no social life - it's a prison sentence but take away the salary, pension contribution and free travel...you're trapped.

Cons

Head office staff - arrogant and ignorant. 90% of them don't actually know we run a train service as our primary business. Ask them for a report - weeks. Ask an operations manager to get a body from under a train or walk down dark tunnels on electrified track- minutes.
