      Pros

      Many opportunities to get trips and make money if you are okay with working conditions. Room to grow professionally if you are willing to relocate.

      Cons

      While many other jobs within CSX will have structured hours and time off. Freight conductor is not one of them. DO NOT expect to know when you will have time off. When it comes, expect using time to get much needed rest. Time between trips is spent resting catching up from last trip and getting ready for next. After mandatory 10 hour rest, wait for next call. Call could come immediately or a day later. Makes it very hard to plan day/sleep patterns to arrive for next trip bright eyed and bushy tailed. Safety stressed but many find it confusing when standards are broken by management to get job done but then enforced when convenient. Very poor Union vs Management environment.

      Pros

      I like the change of places to work. I could be going down to jersey one day, out to boston the next. Every trip, train, engineer, day, and trainee is different. I like being a conductor. Its a good job, always a change of pace. Its a great way to make money. Benefits are awesome and good retirement.

      Cons

      While in the training program for Conductor and engineer we were told by upper level management (System Road Foreman) that there are pay problems.Trainees don't get paid for weeks at a time. Its a known problem in CSX. You can complete everything on your end of submitting your pay and making sure its correct and still your pay would be messed up. I was helping people to fix there pay, because the managers don't know how. And still I didn't get paid because my salary because of how horrible there system is. After not being paid for 3 weeks and complaining to management multiple times about the problem I finally quit CSX and found another job. I was there for 3 years.
