Pros

Pay is good and stock plan is nice..

Cons

Everything else. Management is terrible...push push push. They don't know your job but tell you how to do it. No loyalty to their employees. Almost 30 years on now and still don't get summer vacation or a regular job. On call 24/7 365 days a year. If you don't answer your phone on Christmas day you get 10 demerits or more. Divorce rate is crazy and no time for family or friends.

Pros

Good income, great coworkers, options for career direction and opportunities

Cons

The hours of work for crews are difficult to deal with already, and the company seems to think trying reducing rest periods in between shifts and trips for our next contract is a good idea. This is jus one example about how a company that claims "safety is number one" does just the opposite. In such a safety critical industry as the railroad it is shocking how much management disregards employees health and well being for higher productivity. Plainly spoken it comes down to money matters more than lives
