      Cutthroat Management

      Pros

      Good pay, decent benefits and retirement. I worked with some good people. They had strong unions, but they are getting weaker daily.

      Cons

      Mangement! This is a money persuaded business. They could care less about your family and what is happening at home. You will be told often how your life at home is priority as well as your safety, but you better show up no matter what and if you get hurt, will fire you for something.

      Meaningless practices, right hand doesn't know what left hand is doing

      Railroad conductor

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay is very good especially after the first year, however, you can be forced back to training wages if company deems necessary for you to take another position, benefits are good. Money, that's it.

      Cons

      Schedule is grueling to both employee and their family. That is understandable but with efficiency and some planning it could be made better. Just one example, don't call a train crew at 3am for a train only to sit on it until 2 that afternoon. Some positions lose ability to choose their own careers. Conductors are forced into engine service or be fired. Which means losing seniority and the hope of ever having a normal schedule. It's not a promotion if you have no choice other than to be fired. Company doesn't take families into consideration other than to pay us well. Remote management. Contributes to the inefficiencies, wasted time and decision based on some pretty faulty logic. Union vs. management it's up front and present. Union has many drawbacks, but some benefits in the form of safety and compensation.
