I spent a little over a year here and now it's time to leave. I was hoping to gain a lot more experience that would help me get a better job later, but I didn't have the opportunity to upgrade my skillset. Maybe it has to do with me. That is why I am interested in how satisfied the others are with the experience they've gained here?

Gonna need the cash to cover medical, gas and groceries.
Considering everything going on with the RR's right now, I can't imagine there's a whole lot of people that are satisfied with their experiences at all. I know of a few people that quit with less time, that were shocked with how bad the management really is. I've learned real fast how much management will lie and WILL not hesitate to do so to cover their own a-s. It says a lot of any RR that can't even keep new hires very long before the new hires start seeing through the BS. If you want to make it at a any RR, then you have to be tough about it. You can't let things bother you. Like the last poster said, "I've learned to watch what they do much closer to what they say. That saying alone is spot on with the RR's. You have to watch out for yourself. If you let management get under your skin, then your career will be short. Good luck to you
In my twenty years Ive learned to watch what “they” do, much closer than listening to what “they” say. I’ve learned to keep my mouth shut and only on very rare occasions let very few know what I am thinking. This lesson alone was more valuable than anything I ever learned in college. Never complain, never explain.
See ya!!!!!!
