Pros

Pay and Benefits yearly raise

Cons

Never knowing if you will be furloughed from one week to the next. I have worked on call and rarely seen my family for the last eight years . DONT WASTE YOUR TIME CSX IS NOT THE JOB IT WAS IN THE PAST! Living in limbo of will you stand for a job from week to week able to provide for your family, all the while getting called out on your rest exhausted daily working your butt off. CSX sucks the life out of you and gives nothing in return. Happy Holidays!!

Pros

Railroad Retirement is about all the good thing left at the railroad.

Cons

CSX started going down him shortly after the Conrail buyout. What really happened is that Conrail too over CSX. Since that time it has been in a downward spiral.

Pros

CSX employees need to stand up to Hillbilly Hunter Harrison. He is a human rights and labour rights abuser!

Cons

calling on Donald Trump to put Hunter Harrison behind bars for his abuse towards workers and for endangering U.S. communities with his "cut to the bone" tactics. Mr. President... please save csx workers from Scumbag Hunter!
