      Pros

      Excellent health insurance. Decent compensation for recession era, but less and less competitive as of late.

      Cons

      You'll need it. This job requires you to work up to 20 hour shifts, you really dedicate your life. Take home pay after dues and fees to railroad is 60% of agreement salary.

      Don't Make This a Career - Turnover is HIGH by Constant RIFs

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great working environment, excellent compensation.

      Cons

      The IT Department is no longer a place for career longevity. You can be hired today and then fired under the guise of a reduction in force the next. Severance package has changed, therefore, if by chance you are affected by a RIF after 20 years of service, you'll likely get only 4 - 6 weeks of severance, but I'm certain it will change again with the increase of RIFs. If you are looking for an environment to establish a solid career, this is NOT the place for you. But if you enjoy free trains in lieu of job security and excellent benefits this is the place for you. No career opportunities unless you are senior management, promotions aren't base on merit or work ethic but personality.
