You'll rarely sleep, and in your own bed is even rarer. - Locomotive Engineer Union Pacific Employee Review

The system of management bonuses leads to dishonesty and poor decisions as they all try to shift everything onto someone else's budget. Management is taught to despise the workforce. Taking as little as one day off per month from 24/7 on call makes you a D list employee. Management bonuses are partially based on "catching" people doing something wrong, more dishonesty. You won't be able to work year round for as much as your first ten years.
