Pros

Best pay in the area, free travel (if you like the train), Union Support - most important!

Cons

Remembering 500 policies, and 20+ points to cover during a call. Kind of like "We'll, you DID just sell a $5,000 reservation, BUT... you didn't use the customer's last name during the call, so we have to mark you down for it." Company seems more interested in APPEARING professional than getting the job done.

Pros

Hourly pay is decent, otherwise I wouldn't still be working here. You get to travel and see things you normally wouldn't. Employees travel free, mostly, however if ur not married, anyone who travels with pays FULL fare.

Cons

No personal life, always on the rails, deal with the public (which is bad in It's self), stuck, feels like ur a prisoner, everyone dies BEFORE retirement! I wouldn't recommend this job to my worst enemy..
