BENEFITS AT NS
We offer a complete package with sought-after compensation, comprehensive benefits, and career development.
Whether just starting your career or looking to shift financial priorities based on your family needs, we support employees’ financial journeys beyond income alone. Through partner providers we offer assistance with financial literacy and planning. These services can help you build a secure financial future with good financial practices and a better understanding of what it takes to meet your goals.
We partner with a credit union – who has expertise in the railroad and the needs of railroaders – to provide exclusive financial offerings for NS employees. These offerings include special mortgage and home equity programs, personal loan refinancing, auto-approved lines of credit, and financial resources. All of which can help you build credit and plan for the future, for yourself and your family.
NS places a priority on training to ensure we are driving expertise across the company and facilitating career development for employees. We have broader trainings like our Management Trainee program that provides a six-month training for team members in certain departments, who come to us fresh out of college. We also have department or skill-specific trainings, like ongoing trainings for our craft employees, throughout their careers, at our Training Center in McDonough, GA.
As you move through your career, you may realize you want to try something new, learn a new skill, or dive deeper into a newfound professional passion. At NS we encourage the development of new skills and support team members bringing their expertise to a new department to provide new perspective. This helps career growth and drives innovation across the organization. That’s why, throughout your career at NS, you’ll be able to find new challenges at a Fortune 300 company that is leading the way.
To empower our team to take care of their physical wellness, we partnered with a fitness center discount program that enables access to 11,900+ fitness centers across the country, to use as much as they want. We offer free access to the weight management app Noom, so employees can take control of their nutrition. As mental wellness is just as important as physical, NS provides multiple resources for our employees including access to 8 free sessions of therapy, and a free app to encourage meditation and improve sleep.
We know many members of the NS team are working on their family building journey. As part of our commitment to support NS employees and their families, we offer access to Ovia, an app helping women create their family. We also provide Progeny benefits and insurance to support our employees’ dreams of having a family. Additionally, we recently enhanced our adoption assistance program and created a new surrogacy assistance program.
