Pros

Health insurance for a family was good considering the shift in healthcare. Looks good on a resume to have worked for such a huge organization. Tuition reimbursement is a plus

Cons

No opportunity for growth as they flatten the organization. Culture and Moral and terrible given all the recent layoffs. People and processes make a business successful, however, the focus has changed on doing whatever necessary to benefit shareholders instead. As a result, people are overworked and burnt out and the team mentality is gone. Disappointing how much it changed when the new CEO took over, railroaders use to be a family, but now everyone is out for themselves.
