Working at A&K Railroad Materials

Local, desirable schedule (barring overtime that wasn't known prior)

Management has their favorites, we are constantly being pushed to meet deadlines at all costs regardless of posted speeds / protocols being in place. Almost daily I'm directed to "disregard, cause I said" We have a thorn in our side that is known, has been reported multiple times, regularly & blatantly disrespects and harasses everyone on the yard because as he puts it "he can do whatever he wants"

Listen to peoples input. There is no form of next man up within the company. Job postings are never blasted out or made available to current employees. ALWAYS HIRE FROM AN OUTSIDE SOURCE, rather than taking the next logical step and promoting from within. Someone the yard knows and respects.

I was heavily recruited. Minimal preparation was required on my end due to the situation.

The most fulfilling aspect of my job is training up other team members, I'm a huge believer in cross training. Which adds value to individuals, the yard, and the company as a whole !

It's a good job if you are single and willing to travel

The people in the front office are crooked, jaded and participate in unethical business practices.

Overtime for traveling is the only benefit.

Nothing, the Vice president never introduced himself to me the whole time I was on HIS road crew. All you are is a number and they also try to con you on your paycheck without putting your Per diem on there. They just hope you end up forgetting
