It is a job. - Avis employé Locomotive Engineer CSX

Unions are in the company's pockets. CSX has a bad habit of messing with employees payroll. CSX randomly declines parts of employee's payroll. The employee may make a claim to rectify payroll. This can take between 2 weeks and six months for payroll to pay the arrears or they may not. Management can be extremely hostile towards train and engine crews. Management is extremely authoritarian. There is absolutely no balance between work and home or family life. CSX views family as a Independence to their work schedule. You will not be able to attend grandparents or friends funerals. Grandparents are not considered immediate family. Most management have no railroad experience. The day you are hired they start the paper trail to hold against you whenever they feel the need to use it. There is high amount of resentment between management and employees. Corporate inflames this unnecessarily inflame tension.
