GATX

Not a great place to work under the current administration. They expect too much for to little pay and super micro management it's always hurry up and finish so that I can keep you even busier than you already are. The foreman is a ex military micro manager who is clue less. He only cares about you working! He doesn't care  about your pay rate he is there to make sure you make less as possible, And have more work from the time you get there to the time you go home. He kisses up to upper management to try and make himself look good. He is supposed to buy lunch for the employees twice a month but never does, the company has a budget for coffee and he is so evil that he stopped buying coffee for the employees when the company pays for it. just a slime ball of a guy. He has no respect for the common man and there are other issues with this place he controls the back and some else micro manages the front bathroom issues all around this place stay away not kidding not trying to detour you but please don't waste your time find your happy place that's what I did.

Working at GATX Terminals has been a mixed experience. On the positive side, the company offers competitive compensation and benefits packages, which is a major plus. The work environment is generally safe, and safety protocols are taken seriously. Additionally, there's room for growth and development within the organization, which can be appealing for career-minded individuals.

However, there are some downsides. The work can be physically demanding and sometimes monotonous. Management can be inconsistent in their communication and decision-making, leading to confusion and frustration among employees. The company also lacks a strong company culture, which can make it feel like just another job rather than a fulfilling career.

My experience with GATX was awesome as far as the ability to be a positive presence and entity for the companies customers 
I loved helping to customers with any of their rail car needs and interacting with them
I had 15 years with GATX and had the opportunity to work all over the United states 
Alaska Texas Georgia Louisiana Idaho Oregon & California .
All in all a positive experience 
I truly miss some of the personalities I was working with as well.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Keep your head down and do your work, but not too fast or union gets mad

The overall environment is stressful and many people there are very unhappy and it shows. 

The company spreads their management/ supervisors as thin as possible - making some supervisors work 6 days a week for months at a time working 60+ hours a week. They training for supervisors is non extant and they are left unsupported by upper management. 

The union promotes laziness and entitlement and there is constant friction between them and management. 


Selfish hateful individual Ran to upper management for something petty that he is guilty for himself. let go after 3.5 with no prior incedents.  No write ups, not call offs pretty much perfect record.  This particular shop was ran by father and son which is against company policy.  I highly do not recommend

1) office work first thing in the morning, Then out to do inspections on railcars and fix what is needed to be fixed.

 2)How to rebuild valves and do leak test.

3)Management was great


4)the hardest thing was to learn all the computer programs.

5) something new almost every day, Satisfying the customer needs.

Great company. Always room for advancement. The work isn't hard physically but have to be on your p&q's when it comes to the forms and documents. They change very regular. Safety and quality are major focus points with this company. Management does get a little political from time to time but overall it's nothing bad.

good job but management not so good. employees with the local union was fun and great to work with I miss them but I lost my job because management pushed me to sing off on forms that was a false statement of work that was done and them they got caught but I was the one let go.
