Best Work Culture/Co Workers Can Make Or Break You
Pros
- Pay, best benefits, retirement, unionized - Workload, more time waiting on trains than working - Three rest days if 4 10's - MGMT doesn't ask much other than being safe and preventative maintenance to meet budget goals - Work uniforms washed and pressed at no cost to you - Boot allowance annually - Bonuses and overtime - Holiday pay, sick leave, fmla, luncheons, you name it
Cons
- Having weak links at your ramp can end your career. People who are not serious and play all the time are your biggest threat to security and stability. - Work schedule can take time away from family events over the years - Working in the elements if you're not used to it. I didn't mind, the work kept me distracted. - Strict Blue flag policies. Zero tolerance policy so if you slip up once with blue flags, you're out of there. Union cannot save you.
