Pros

Pay is ok, coworkers are great

Cons

Upper management is so far removed from what the actual work entails. Morale is absolutely terrible.

Pros

Good money, good health benefits.

Cons

Dog eat dog based on seniority. It doesn't matter how hard you work or what you bring to the table. It just matters how long you can sit at said table. Don't have a family if you intend to work for the railroad.
