Pros

Good pay for no experience or no education beyond high school

Cons

Very clickish. People talk about each other very 'mean girl' type atmosphere. Weak union so rights are ignored by company. Management is horrible.

Pros

Great benefits and good pay. Can make additional 30K if you get a lot of OT.

Cons

You work anytime of the day or night 24/7/365. The railroad never stops. Don't know when you're going to go to work until an hour and a half before you get your call. Some working boards have no days off. Boards with days off your weekend could be Tues/Wed. or any other two day combo. One day get called at 5am to go to work, next day at 10pm, the next day at 1pm. Always tired. Stressful.
