Pros

pay is good if you don't mind working outside in all weather, benefits are very good and union membership is available.

Cons

work in harsh weather, seniority based so salary and jobs available will not be that great starting out, not a feel good company, the harsh work environment is par for the course

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.
