Avantages
Majority of employees are friendly and easy to work with. Middle managment is talented and willing to work with lower employees. Plenty of projects and opportunities to get a wide variety of work experience. The company is large enough to offer good benefits package and fairly competitive compensation packages. Being of Fortune 500 size, it is a reputable company that can look really good on a resumee. Very corporate atmosphere, nice office space and comfortable amenities. Location of offices is usually very centrally located in major cities across the globe. Opportunities to expand globally are a possibility in the near future.
Inconvénients
Small business sector (Rail) has limitied opportunities for advancement within the company. CIT is not very open regarding their compensation possibilities, everything regarding pay, bonuses, and raises is kept very quiet. Employee training programs are HORRIBLE. No way to advance your own knowledge within a position without looking for outside opportunities (which may or may not be reimbursed.) Knowledge and information systems seem very stagnant. Though new ideas are encouraged and received well, little encouragement and support in actually inputting those new ideas. Due to the nature of the [rail] industry, much of the technology is behind the times and not as efficient as it could be.
