Pros
Work is ok if you can do outdoor work in most weather. They do advance you in pay as time goes on, and often dont work in the rain, which is nice. This and other things do depend on the foreman though. They do provide housing on travel assignments. Can work up to foreman with time and reasonable effort. Good training.
Cons
I was in the central division. The following possibly depends on area/division. Starting pay stinks. If you are in a position requiring constant travel, hard labor in all weather types, in an inherently dangerous job, you need paid more than that. Esp from a large company in the rail industry. Per diem isn't the greatest either. Lack of foreman participation required by the company.
