      I've been working on the Railroad!

      Locomotive engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great pay and good benefits. Was a very interesting job in the fact that you drive trains. Got to enjoy the outdoors

      Cons

      Horrible management. Once they hire you, they try to fire you by constantly hiding in the bushes (literally) to find you breaking one of the 300+ rules. Often denying valid claims for pay.

      Don't work in operations department.

      Train dispatcher
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits. Opportunities for advancement vary depending on which department you work for.

      Cons

      Serious disjoint between management and craft people. Craft people are subject to Railroad operating rules and punishment for deviation from the rules is often times exaggeratted. Management is always looking to blame as opposed to identifying root causes. If, for example, 70% of your workforce is in some way violating rules, don't you think something may be wrong with the training program? Or maybe the workers are overloaded? Maybe they aren't getting proper rest. Please, look at the root cause instead of assuming everyone, who is human is, deliberately trying to undermine the company that they work for.

      Pros

      the retirement and benefits are good

      Cons

      the schedule is very bad - you are unable to have any family life- they are always looking for reasons to fire you - the management is always looking for ways to cut corners and then blames the employees when something goes wrong-
