Norfolk Southern Corporation Team Employee Reviews

What are some of the best things about your team?

Our team is awesome, and manager is fantastic. We all work together as needed, or individually where we do our own projects. Every team can vary at NS, so being internal you can see where these great managers are.

Review from IT Dept

We before me is the approach

Diversity amongst team and experiences

Review from Engineering Dept

We look out for each other

We are not a team

A large majority come to do their job to the best of their abilities, or at least to the best of how they were trained. Most don't have railroad backgrounds like I do. Management does not train people properly, and that is because management doesn't know the job either. Federal rule violations daily

Experience levels are top notch.

Their is no team you're on you're own

Team is made up of diverse thinkers that collaborate well together.

We all equally hate management

We have experience and are very knowledgeable about our jobs.

We aren't involved in team building or meetings

Collaboration and support for each other. We are all in this together.

Expeeienced in the firld of work

No teams. No mutual cooperation.

Review from Operations Dept

My team are ready to jump in and help a moment notice. We are flexible, we have our roles but able to fill in. I love the diverse knowledge that we have from various background.

Review from Operations Dept

We work together. We respect each other. Maybe the higher ups could take some lessons off of us.

Review from Operations Dept

We work hard to take care of issues.

Team work and looking out for each other

Review from Operations Dept

My coworkers are the only people who can truly understand. Mid to upper management are the puppets of Wall Street and they treat employees like dirt.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Do the work amount equivalent to an average day. Most won't do the equivalent when they have more help on their shift

We are all in this together.

They are so unhappy from the crushing disillusionment that all they can do is hold on. My co-workers have no control over their futures, and I pity them all.

Review from Operations Dept

Calling out the wrongs being done to the other workers instead of putting thier head down and acting like it's gonna go away the only way we attack this problem is sticking together but I understand how hard that is

Review from Engineering Dept

All my coworkers do is talk about other coworkers and complain about everything.

Review from Operations Dept

Most coworkers are great to work with besides management

Review from Operations Dept

Union! Comply with our agreement, quit trying to rewrite it with neutrals!!

Review from Operations Dept

The moral needs to be higher,

Review from Operations Dept

Make our union stronger by enforcing our contract on claims. We must not let them get away with anything.

Review from Operations Dept

they need to quit making deals with lazy trainmasters

Review from Operations Dept

There is no teamwork at NS, none.

Review from Operations Dept

More time training. Railroad qualifies people before they are ready.

Review from Operations Dept

They need to strive to provide the best possible workmanship available and make good use of their time at work.

Review from Operations Dept

Team could be more consistent in applied effort. Weaker links need mentoring from the strong to get better.

Review from Operations Dept

Stand together during collective bargaining.

Review from Operations Dept

It's not the co worker its the hostile management. It may not be the lower management. It could be they are a product of thier enviroment. They just have not found what it takes to lead.

Review from Operations Dept

By listening to the more experienced workers.

Review from Engineering Dept

We do our job daily

Review from Engineering Dept

The employees are stuck being they are working to retirement at this point

Review from Engineering Dept

On real training and better communication
