      Overworked and Underpaid

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Depending on if you fit in with the culture, you can skyrocket quickly.

      Cons

      If for any reason you are not in lock-step with the culture, don't expect career progression. If you work in Finance, expect to be overworked by your boss and "business partners" while underpaid and insulted constantly, and watch the golden employees get promoted quickly.

      Living the Dream

      Locomotive engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Get paid good money without a college degree. Good coworkers. Co-workers have a family type bond. You can start from the ground and move up in the company. Benefits are good.

      Cons

      The pay is good, but you're selling your social life for an easy buck. Co-workers become like family because you spend more time with coworkers than your family. If you have a college degree and no nothing about the railroad you can move up and be a boss. This is a pro and con depending on your point of view. While people that have years of railroad knowledge and experience get left behind because of the BS charges on their work history or they don't know the right people. Benefits are good, but it's not cheap working for the railroad. Benefits, union dues, run off insurance adds up.
