Pros

Very DIVERSE career experience, never dull, challenging. Retirement plans awesome. Benefits good. Especially dental and eye. Training is good most of the time.

Cons

Management turn over in some areas is ridiculous. Management/supervision out for blood! Benefits decrease, premiums increase, union dues increase, pay good but going down as cost goes up. Unions are not doing their jobs.

Pros

Good pay, excellent training, great benefits.

Cons

Little or no family life, no upward mobility, glass ceiling for minorities( look at UPPER management), Very stressful( ever heard of "run-off insurance"?). Benefits come thru Union/ you must belong to a Union. Constant testing and evaluation. Somewhat dangerous, easy to get killed or dismembered on the ground as a conductor. Very adversarial relation with management who must "test" and have a percentage of "failures" resulting in punishment (usually time off without pay).

Great business with a wide moat and talented people.

Company going through a very hard time as new CEO is focused on temporary share price at the expense of headcount, assets, culture and all the things that sustain a company beyond near term results.

Pros

Good pay, good benefits, good retirement. I guess if you like shift work that would be a pro. That's all

Cons

No time off. Very little vacation. No sick days. No personal days. Shift work is for the birds and horrible days off
