"I have been employed by watco for over thirteen years. The company as a whole is by far a great company to work for and grow with. I have only worked doing railroads although there are other components that consist of Watco Companies. They are a company that focuses on customer service along with safety and growth. I would prefer this company to hard workers."
"The job was very fast paced always moving and would be impossible if it was done by only one person. The coworkers were the best part , very talkative and knew how to make the day better even if it was a hard day. The supervisors were also great because they had once been in the same position as us. Head leadership was always about what he wanted and made more work when there was no reason for it."
"Watco Companies is a large company that still has the feel of a small family-owned business. They are growing exponentially with the hopes of becoming one of the top 10 transportation companies in the US and definitely the potential to do as well."
"Strong teamwork and safety focus."
"The company preached servant style leadership but didn't practice it themselves."
"train railroads transload customer service"

The only thing is, when the kid came to work, he had no clue ever on what he was supposed to do and constantly had to be reminded of his job duties."

"Keep doing the things that you are doing! Your company continues to grow and get bigger and it's very nice to see such hard work pay off for such a great group! Keep up the good work!!"
