Business Outlook
Pros
Railroad retirement benefit is much greater than SSI. Opportunity to make decent money if you are willing to forfeit everything else (family, relationships, your soul) for it.
Cons
Politics are valued more than skills (or anything else). Business is changing, but BNSF has set their target for change toward the model of Apple or Microsoft in the 1970's. By the time these goals are met, BNSF's "progressive new image" will be outdated by 50 years. All talk, no action, backstabbing, cutthroat, generally a breeding ground for mental illness.
