Working at BNSF Railway in Fort Worth, TX: 26 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Fort Worth, TX Area

"Great company! They invest in people development, much career mobility, stable industry, great people. The tuition program is very generous and advanced education is encouraged."

"BNSF railway is a company that searches out engineering graduates, not for engineering, but for low level management and supervisor roles. While this presents an opportunity for young engineers to gain skills they did not get in their education, it comes at the price of absolutely no work life balance and a toxic relationship between field employees and company leadership and managers. The one year retention rate of new hires at BNSF is abysmal. Retired military often hire out with BNSF and even their retention rates are terrible. It worked for me but it's not for most. To add insult to injury, many current employees hired on with the promise of a pension which BNSF revoked in 2019."

"I’ve worked for BNSF Railway for 5-1/2 years and have enjoyed every minute of it!"
