Pros
I can honestly say that the only positive is the pay. I've heard of people making six figures a year as a conductor when it is only their 2nd year on the job.
Cons
They seriously need to do a complete overhaul of the way they train their conductors. There is way too much emphasis placed on classroom training and memorizing the GCOR and not enough time spent out in the field actually learning the job duties. On top of that, there isn't special training for conductors on how to teach people who are just starting out their careers. I experienced verbal abuse, and almost got into a fight with someone who was frustrated that I didn't quite know as much about railroading as he did. There are other negatives about this company, like work-life balance and the management, but I won't go into that here.
