Pros

Good wages, solid benefits, railroad retirement on a storyline, no furloughs, more work than you can shake a stick at.

Cons

Can't count on a day off so you can't get anything done, no communication, no work life balance, no support from local management or from parent company, hostile trainman manager relationship, absurd expectations, planning and response to problems.
