Pros

Pay Nice scenery on the trains Solid health/dental insurance

Cons

You have to fight for time off, no quality of life, the company uses drones and cameras on the locomotives to watch employees/discipline them. Conductors have it much worse; less pay and work perks, having to follow rules that are counterproductive and in some cases, make 0 sense.
