      Pros

      I really don't know anymore

      Cons

      Work in all weather condions. Work on confined unsanitary locomotives and stay in dirty hotels but we get no sick days. We get Holiday pay only if on regular jobs but will take away one of your personal days for it. Can't ever schedule a personal leave day or daily vacation because the caps are set at least 8 times lower then the number of days workers have. One of the lowest paid on call, no structure, living in hotels jobs out there. Divorce rate is very high if you work for the railroad.
