Pros

some of the best reasons to work at BNSF railway would be to make good connections inside the railway to move up in a position or to someday get re-located to a place you would like to work at.

Cons

some of the downsides to working at BNSF railway is the hours and the sometimes the intermodal management. My last intermodal manager did not do a good job at managing people and show them how to do the job.
