Pros

The pay is off the charts for what you are required to do and the minimal experience you need. The people you work with are great for the most part. Most benefits are above average.

Cons

Lay offs and downsizing in every department except IT. If you see a job posting outside of IT that means that they have either cut or run everyone else in that job off. Current CEO is restructuring how American rail runs, and it isn't working. Customers and Government agencies can't even get a clear picture of what is going on.

Pros

Fair minded and supportive management. Not directly involved in RR management, so did not have the same hours or demands as many do.

Cons

None really--large publicly held company. Working on a contract basis, so can't speak to benefits.
