Pros

Enjoy the job, Knowing we are transporting the goods that America needs such as Coal for electricity, and food and automobiles , this gives a sense of pride knowing we are helping keep this economy going.

Cons

Management micromanages, and puts us under pressure everyday with threats to fire us every chance they get, and the Unions we are required to join to get the job, does not support us at all.

Pros

Great pay and benefits, opportunity for very good work schedules depending on position and work group. They encourage further education, at least officially.

Cons

Poor communication, bloated workforce with multiple layers of redundancy and unnecessary people and processes that drag everything down. Too much forced emphasis on diversity, leaving qualified 'majority' candidates out of luck sometimes.
