Pros

Pay is decent, even though contract literally got shoved down our throats....some mgmt is great, some is stuck in the old ways (enjoy firing people...but that's what job insurance is for)

Cons

Conductors work a 6&1 schedule on extra board, supposedly going to 6 &2 eventually...senority in some areas takes forever to acquire. And all of the class 1s are trying to do away with the conductor positions

Pros

Fair minded and supportive management. Not directly involved in RR management, so did not have the same hours or demands as many do.

Cons

None really--large publicly held company. Working on a contract basis, so can't speak to benefits.
