Just doing my job and making people happy

Review from Operations Dept

Extreme lack of standardization and procedures. Also, company, especially management needs a culture overhaul. Perhaps a third party who turns around company culture can be brought in.

Managers need to get more input from line workers before policies are changed or implemented. It would get the employees more engaged in their work and lead to more efficient work processes. There seems to be an ivory tower tendency by the managers who never seem to get out of their office.

Too much reliance on government money. No one cares about anything.

Changing the leadership group; over 75 VPs

Review from Engineering Dept

Need to work with FRA and not against them; need to cut from union operations employees instead of management; need to actually invest in internal systems with not only technology but also keeping people around to maintain them; need better project management across the board.

Antiquated procedures and processes, lack of culture, lack of rewarding performance

The dedication of the right people.

Communications and collaborations between departments

Review from Operations Dept

Executive leadership needs to actually work with each other.
