Pros

The pay and great benefits the company has to offer are good they also offer health and wellness program. This is a long term career path lots of growth opportunity with this company. The people you work with are like a family try to watch out for one another. Opportunity to travel see other places. offer a safety bonus for your first two years and a stock option for never missing work and demand day off every 90 days. 2 weeks vacation and 10 personal days after your first year.

Cons

Some of the challenges with this company is that it is a economy driven business. Its hard to keep working your first few years in some locations. So many rules that are always changing hard to keep up with. Always seem to run trains at night not the day so its hard to get use to trying to find out when to rest. Never really know when you might get called. Got to live by the phone. Good words to live by, Safety first double check everything. Never get in a hurry. Always be ready and stay ready just when you think your not going to get called your phone will ring to come to work.

Pros

money and benefits are pretty good for a job that requires no education. The company is ran like the government so you don't work to hard.

Cons

You are part of a union and can be bumped out of your job allot. You never know from one day to the next if the company will cut a job off and its up to you to find a place to go and this can be anywhere since they are so spread out. I have moved twice with the company so far and cam in the other day and they cut my job off again. Also on call 24/7 and the phone rings off the hook.
