Pros

The pay is very good. The system is workable so that if you and a union buddy cooperate you can manage to get specific days off.

Cons

You have no social life. Sometimes you don't even have a home life. Extremely combative environment between union and management. The entire system is designed to get their employees in trouble. They do whatever they want and do not care about their employees at all. Management has no clue how to run a railroad. They openly acknowledge that they're ignoring what the customers want so they can fudge their numbers and try to appease the stock owners.

Pros

Decent pay, good benefits and retirement.

Cons

CSX hates its employees, especially Conductors and Engineers. They try to work you to death, while at the same time laying people off. Very unethical and do honor the labor agreement.
