Pros

If you want to work for a government type agency, or like traveling by train this could be a good place for you.

Cons

Command and control, distrustful, and unprofessional management. Lofty ideas with the inability to execute appropriately. Disrespectful of staff, typical high school behavior...very sad. Culture is referred to and desirable behaviors are listed but not adhered to.

Pros

Good salary, health benefits and travel perks. The job was easy to learn and maintain. I worked there from 1993-1998 until I took a company buyout. I starter out at the Reservations Center and then ended my career at the L.A Station. I adored the station but was unable to hold a job there due to my seniority otherwise I would've never left.

Cons

Some of the management could've used a refresher course in training and people skills.
