Pros

I enjoy ensuring the economy moves in the right direction. The freedom to work without being looked over the shoulder everyday. The training that I received in order to do my job safely. The benefits. The pay. The customers.

Cons

The hotel is your home. Work life balance is available for Senior Management, H.R. and Labor Relations. Work life balance is not available for Lower Management or their direct repots (the true face of the company). Labor relations don't understand the contract they signed when it relates to paying what was agreed upon. If they can take the money back due to something in the contract they understand it clearly, if you dont understand it then too bad. Opportunity is not always given to the best candidates rather to friends and family referrals. No diversity. Most accountability standards only pertain to train crews. Intimidation is used often even if it requires breaking a rule or is unsafe. The last two examples means that this place is unethical. Unethical activities need not be reported, they will to be placed on a desk and lost rather than resolved if it come from union employee unless an attorney is involved.

Pros

Compensation and benefits.. railroad retirement is second to none. This section has a minimum of twenty words.. and I don't have much else to say that's positive.. unless you really like trains, rain, and snow.

Cons

Zero quality of life. The schedule allows for no planning of social functions, or even doctors appointments. With a new attendance policy enacted (3/15), you are penalized for sick days.. even with valid documentation from your physician.
