      Pros

      Lots of options to work different type of jobs, once seniority starts growing.

      Cons

      Management is a joke. Definitely behind on the 'Respect at a workplace' situation. Many not qualified to work or understand the railway. Safety is preached a lot, but when you face a real safety issue, you are scrutinized to such an extent, which can even cost you your livelihood. In other words, safety is taken as seriously as it is talked about

      Pros

      Pays decently well for first job out of college. My manager and team are very reasonable with expectations placed on new hires. Working after office hours (past 4:30pm) is extremely rare and only expected in emergencies.

      Cons

      Very slow and/or limited job growth potential. Promotions into middle management are almost purely based on reputation with middle managers who are largely people with previous field experience. This is very disadvantageous to direct-from-college hires like myself and even my current manager.
