      Pros

      The paycheck and the benefits. There is never a boring day at the railroad.

      Cons

      The work/life balance. The harassment and being micro managed by management.

      Pros

      It is great company with great salary and people. Every one strives to further the company. Bonus is based off performance.

      Cons

      I don't really have much bad to say about CSX. The company is ran very well and people are rewarded for going the extra mile.

      Forget having a life

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay is ok and work is pretty easy. Benefits are ok but you gotta pay for them all.

      Cons

      On call 24/7, and they will call 24/7!!! Mostly for jobs that your not even qualified to be on. You will have no life, one day off a week. A week day usually. Even if you get to the point you get good seniority as a conductor they will force you to be an engineer and lose it all starting from the bottom again. If you take a day off, they will threaten you with termination. Only way to take time off is FMLA or calling in sick. Company ignores union agreements, denies pay and claims due to you. You pay Union dues to a union that doesn't do anything for you. They will leave you in a hotel for 24 hours or more. You could be gone from home for days just to get called back as soon as you wake up and do it all over again. They force safety down your throat but on a daily basis managers tell you to violate the rules and FRA regulations. Any time anything goes wrong the company hangs you. Even when THEY tell you to do something against the rules they still find a way to blame it all on you.
