Pros

Great for those you like to work outdoors for a good wage. Being on the rails you get to see beautiful scenery, and are mostly alone to use your skills and judgment to do your job. Great camaraderie.

Cons

Having to endure being separated from your family. Never being able to plan anything because you are on an on call 24/7 schedule. Having to work all holidays. Having management come and borderline harass you and give you safety tickets, that take away from your employee score. Kinda like being treated like a child.
