Pros

Based on the current direction of the company I cannot think of any. Maybe Rail Road Retirement but you can find that at any Class 1 RR

Cons

Management needs to stand up to the Unions. At best 20 hours of work might be done in a 60 hour work week. Yes guys are milking the system for 20 hours of OT every week. Speaking of the Unions they are toxic. It is split on a generational divide. The over 40 crowd is there to not work and the younger new hires are only in the Union because it's a closed shop. If they do not start working the current Administration with get rid of Long Distance and just keep the NEW because it's the only part of the business that generates a profit.
