Pros

None really worth mentioning. Job.

Cons

Lowest paid class 1 rail road. Unclear agenda, high level of uncertainty with new CEO. Union does not fight for fair pay for employees when compared to other class 1 rail roads, example the average class 1rail road conductor makes about 425 as a daily rate while CSX pays its conductors 238 daily for 8hrs.

Pros

Pay, benefits, railroad retirement, coworkers are big pros but that's about it.

Cons

They're always trying to fire you for anything and everything, work/life balance is terrible, always on call until you have the seniority to hold a "scheduled" job but can be bumped by a senior employee anytime, frequent furloughs, weak union, poor morale, ungrateful management, you pretty much have to call in sick just to get a day off.

Pros

Financial stability, great retirement. Great group of employees willing to sacrifice home time to see the company succeed. With less management everyday great opportunities for advancement very fast.

Cons

The intensity that is placed on ones shoulder is ridiculous so that 5 people couldn't do it. Time spent from home is almost 24/7. The company's direction is headed south on safety.
