Pros

Good pay, Good benefits, hard to beat for people without an education.

Cons

You are a number to the company, not a person with a family and bills to pay. You wont get a pat on the back for doing a good job, but many slaps on the wrist if you don't meet times/numbers they would like. Management vs. Everyone else.

Pros

CSX will work you. Being a conductor is not extremely difficult, but you have to pay attention to detail. Pay is good overtime is almost a daily thing and the benefits are some of the best you can find today. Keep this in mind, the Railroad has been around for a hundred years, follow the rules and just show up on time and do as you are asked to do and CSX will put money in your pocket.

Cons

It's a transportation company 24/7. If you work as a conductor or engineer you will live your life being on call. The shifts are 12 hours and sometimes you will work longer. The Railroad is not for people who can't grind out hours. Honestly I don't have any cons, I enjoy it. Some of the managers are not the best, they are supervisors and not leaders
