      Pros

      Where can you make 100k in one year with no degree!? The railroad. Went to college, got "the job", worked two years and was broke...BNSF first year 88k. On track to make over 100k this year.

      Cons

      If you hire out from 2014 on you will probably get cut. It just happens when you have a seniority based job. Yeah the hours are terrible, you can have a set schedule if you want one, or chase the money it is all up to you. This place is about numbers. How fast can you move from point A to point B all road employee's are meat for that grinder. But they pay the hell out of you to do it.

      Pros

      Great people and strong coworkers across the organization. The company offers competitive pay, strong benefits, and good overall stability. There are many experienced employees who care about the work and are willing to help others succeed.

      Cons

      The organization can be very hierarchical, which sometimes makes it difficult to drive change or move quickly. Decisions often require multiple layers of approval, so it can take longer than expected to finalize direction or make progress. There is also limited flexibility compared to what many other companies offer, especially when it comes to working arrangements.
