A good job until they stopped paying me.
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.
