American Track

Complete lack of communication across the board, detached management with ridiculous expectations, no work/life balance, raise incentives are based on your production and how little time off you take. Not sure how true it was, as people seemed to like spreading rumors, but foremen get bonuses if job is completed before allotted time based on initial job estimation. The crew gets nothing for their hard work other than an attaboy and a two dollar raise after a year of consistent high achievements. Expect to work weekends often, be away from home often, and work 10-14 hr days often. Don't expect to know what you will be doing from day to day, communication often comes at the last possible moment. Don't expect to get good training in the job, I had to figure almost everything myself with tips here and there from coworkers. Despite my 10+ years experience operating experience, I was never allowed to touch any equipment until recently. Foremen play favorites and choose one guy they groom to be the next foreman. That one guy does all the operating and gets all the training while you're expected to just be a grunt and hope one day you get a shot to prove yourself. One benefit was with all the hours I accrued, it made it seem like I was making decent money. But the trade off was not worth it to me in the long run. The hourly pay itself is not that great compared to the unions industry standard, BNSF entry level guys will make $6+ an hour more than you. You are paid little for the amount of responsibility you are expected to take on. You will work a lot, sleep little, be home little, and have little to show for it.

If you value your time, mental health, or fair compensation, stay far away from this company. The work life balance is nonexistent and you’re expected to be available constantly, including weekends and holidays, with little to no notice.

The pay is well below industry standards for the amount of work expected. As for the benefits, health coverage is bare minimum and time off requests are discouraged.

The culture is toxic, turnover is high, and there’s no support for employees who raise concerns. People either burn out or quit. Unless you’re desperate and need a paycheck right now, look elsewhere.

You won't make it not for the faint of heart or anyone who is not a kiss up. Dead end road and high turn over rate. All the o'l school people are leaving left and right due to changes, false promises and no raises and bonuses. I was working here a year and already lost two foremans one demoted, and one superintendent due to a toxic work environment I was slowly driven out of my job and they couldn't drive me out so I was eventually fired for calling in sick.

The upper management and staff of the company are all very disrespectful, and do not care about the employees. They treat everyone under them terribly, and never acknowledge the hard work they put in. Ever since they realized I had to take time off to go to Drill Weekends as a USMC reservist, they have been looking for ways to fire me, and giving the worst jobs to me to try and force me to quit. 

If I were you I would keep scrolling this place is not a very good place to work the pay is horrible you're only allowed to work 40 hours a week and at $20 an hour that's not very much take home they don't Supply you with hardly any tools and the tools they do give you are worn out and non-usable this is not a very good company to work for this company is a work harder not smarter type of company

Management gets all the glory, grunts get all the blame. There's good people here, but there's always a bad apple that will be protected by those in power. Pay sucks for the amount of stress and responsibility, last minute communication and dreadful atmosphere. Plan to have perfect attendance because if you don't, you'll be outcast. 

Management is horrible at this office! Always says he’s busy but is never doing anything but golfing, eating out on the company’s money, and on the phone laughing it up. Wants invoices done immediately but never provided the numbers to do them. Employees are always walking in and out because of poor management. 

I went to work everyday and gave all I give for a month and on my 30th day they fired me and tried to take my whole check when I have a family to support. They have no Loyalty cuz like I heard on many occasions everyone is replaceable. They don't care who makes them the money as long as they get rich that's all they care about 

This is a horrible place to work. The wages for all positions are poor. Work/life balance is non existent, all scheduling is last minute. You’re constantly away from home trying to complete jobs with tight dead lines while being yelled at by management. There is plenty of better Rail Road companies out there.      

Honestly best job I have had from the traveling to the money, to the guys you spend HOURS with. Would do it again if I could, benefits were great and the hunchos of the company were respectable and looked out when my family needed it.
