Pros

The people: the co workers were quite honestly the best part of the worksite. They were a family that made you want to go to work.

Cons

Management gets hired on from other outside companies and automatically think they know better than the employees. To quote one of the managers “I don’t need to know anything about the trains, i just need to know how to manage you people”. The Union is always gonna be there but sometimes it seems like they’re working against you.
