Working at this company was a revealing experience. On the surface, leadership paints a picture of success, but beneath that image lies a culture built on deception, exploitation, and disregard for people.
• Management & Culture: Leadership openly refers to employees as “slaves,” treating people as expendable rather than as contributors. HR and benefits are driven by the CEO’s personal beliefs rather than employee wellbeing, limiting healthcare choices and creating inequity.
• Safety & Training: Employees are not properly trained, leading to repeated safety incidents—including derailments and collisions—that are later brushed aside or hidden from clients. Instead of learning from mistakes, the organization covers them up.
• Ethics & Compliance: Contracts are at risk because of false reporting to clients, and the legal representation mirrors a “Better Call Saul” caricature—fighting to justify actions rather than ensure compliance.
• Values: Money and control matter more to leadership than people, integrity, or safety. Even benefits are designed to serve the CEO’s ideology rather than employees’ actual needs.
It is telling that despite public safety failures, nothing changes. The only real path forward will be when those who hold financial control—the private equity investors—recognize the toxic leadership at the top and hold them accountable. Until then, the culture of fear, cover-ups, and exploitation will continue.
This is not a “top company to work for.” It’s a cautionary tale of what happens when greed replaces leadership and compliance becomes optional.
