Pros

RRB retirement is higher than social security, but this “pro” assumes you’ll work there long enough to retire, which is rare under the current business model.

Cons

The company is always looking to cut headcount; your job is never safe. The cuts are so drastic that the workforce is very limited and works with limited resources. This is a very challenging culture - you get advanced if you’re in the “circle,” but if you’re not, getting recognized and promoted is rare. The company says they value diversity and equity, but their actions don’t support that proposition. I would never recommend this company to any prospective employee. The benefits for new employees aren’t enough to overcome the poor pay and terrible culture.
