Eagle RailCar Services

Eagle is an “ok” coming to work for. You have a flexible schedule. Take time off if needed. Overtime is about 80% unless the carload is slow and they send you home. They don’t allow much indirect labor. They do not guarantee 40 hours. The pay is not competitive at all. They basically want you to work work work and they want the work done ASAP. Don’t expect a raise. Some guys even waited 2-3 years before a raise. Once the raise is “overlooked by the owner” then you will have to wait another 2 months before it’s approved. Then it’s usually less than what you had asked for. They don’t evaluate the employees. The owner is also very nit picky since he is an attorney. You have to walk on pins and needles pretty much everyday. They don’t ever have the right game-plan. They will also send you to class in Longview and once certified they still will not offer an increase. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
There was never a good moment. I worked for this company right at year and every single day you are threatened to get wrote up and fined. Was cursed out by a lead man and worked like a dog. Very unfair job.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
In all honesty everything. The pay was unfair and some people are treated better than others. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very stressful and hot and always forced to work late. I never felt appreciated because no one never tells you that you are doing a good job. This one place I will never go back too. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Every morning is a hour long meeting and all you hear is about getting wrote up or fired.

Company would be better off under a different group of management. Employees are there for a paycheck like most other jobs, but never heard much good things said about it from coworkers. While they give you competitive salary, they expect an absurd amount of hours to compensate for it. Holidays are paid and they give you a birthday holiday, which is nice, but will make the following Saturday a mandatory work day to make up for the “paid day off” they gave you. I’m not sure how it’s legal to fine your workers for safety policy violations, but I’m sure this leads to many injuries and safety issues going unreported due to job security concerns. Overall, I didn’t see myself growing in my field when working for this company. 

This is the best place I have ever worked. The company really cares about the employees and provides all types of training and even helps pay for school if you want to go back.  The company gave my son a 4 year scholarship, which has really helped him.
If you want a career, this is a great place. If you just want a job so you can see how much you goofing off you can get away with, you probably should go to McDonalds.
I know some of the people that posted negative comments on here.  They should have never been hired to start with.

My experience at Eagle Railcar Services was filled with disappointment and frustration. The atmosphere was filled with disrespectful chatter and a lack of appreciation for employees' efforts. There was a noticeable gap in training, leading to inefficiency and confusion. Management failed to recognize hard work and criticized unfairly. Do not want to give you the money you ask for. Despite emphasizing policy and safety, the company did not follow through.

Overall, I cannot recommend Eagle Railcar Services due to its general atmosphere, lack of appreciation for workers, and numerous operational issues that compromise safety and efficiency.

Working at Eagle rail car services I learned how to weld MIG and SMAW , a typical day was just like any other we were given a certain rail car to work on and had to finish it in a certain amount of hours.
The management was poor to me , we didn't have the safety equipment we need to work comfortably and to get the job done in a safer manner. The most enjoyable part was just getting to weld . I got along with most of my co-workers I always tried to help others even if it meant I had to work a little extra to get my duties done. The hardest part of the job was really nothing it was a easy going job.

The amount of hours depends on the workload for the day and you are expected to get your job done as fast as you can for efficiency. After you are finished with your work( typically by lunch) if they can’t find anything for you to do you are sent home. The amount of money the company makes compared to what you are paid is absurd considering the high stress and intense labor. Safety is important, so important that you can be fined $300 out of your already small paycheck for not wearing gloves while working. If you think you’ll be paid more for taking on more responsibility in your current position, think again.

Oh man where to begin. I started off a blaster worked the robot did a lil paint. Dangerous not provided with proper Ppe. You'll get in trouble for asking for new blast shields which cover your eyes from steel shot blast sand. Management was, and I don't use this word very much but stupid. I mean so stupid. The company went $1m in the hole the first year and the deficit continues to grow as I am told by a buddy of mine who still works there. Long hours hard work decent paycheck. That's it.

Completely disorganized. Be ready to put in more work than what you’re compensated for. Benefits are a bit pricey regardless of whatever “deal” they pay to compensate benefit increases. No laid out hierarchy.  They don’t really welcome opinions no matter what they say. No promotions or raises, ever. I asked. Happy to not be there anymore. They run through people in this department faster than the seasons. They are not reasonable or rational people either. 

As a  former supervisor it was horrible. I hated going to work. Loved the guys under me for sure but management was a freaking joke and as for the owners well that's a bigger joke for sure. The big boss was kinda cool but the son is an idiot. Won't even look you in the eye when he talks to you. Overall as a super6i was treated like trash and like I didn't matter and was threatened by my superior several times until I had enough and walked out. In my heart I would suggest if they want a better name fix your safety and management team.
