Pros

1) Great Pay 2) overall fairly easy work 3) Great people 4) Great opportunity for advancement => Either within unionized positions or within management 5) Great leader, with a great focus, great corporate outlook 6) Great team, lots of knowledge, lots of help when needed 7) SAFETY....ONLY COMPANY I HAVE EVER WORKED FOR WHERE THEY PREACH SAFETY AND BACK IT UP 8) Those who continually mess up and put others in danger are held accountable

Cons

on call 24 / 7, long days (up to 18 hrs on a train) bunch of 50+ people who hired on in high school, never worked a hard job in their life and all they do is cry about the work. Place would be much better if 25% of the work force retired tomorrow and wouldn't have to deal with all the cry babies. I can't believe there are people with a grade 10 education who make 120 thousand dollars a year who cry that they don't make enough or that they have to wake up at 2 am to make that kind of cash.

Pros

Pays okay, not great but okay. Job Security, I've never seen a lay-off. Co-workers are great.

Cons

Shift Work/Rest Days- No social life. None! Your expected to work EVERY weekend, you will be stuck on afternoons or midnights, It will take years to get a regular day shift. I've been there +20 years I still can't get weekends off. Discipline,-employees are disciplined for getting injured on the job, some even discharged.
