Pros
*On the management side they have wonderful medical benefits and great salary for those starting out. *Great retirement, if you can make it that far!!
Cons
* You work for the railroad and they are a 24hr operations. * The pay verses the hours does not work out well. Instead of dollars per hour it turns out to be pennies per hour *There are no sick days, no personal days, no set schedule in terminal's or line of road, no personal life allowed. *You are at their beck and call. 24hrs a day, it doesn't matter if you are at a ball game with your son or recital with your daughter your butt is theirs and you better not have your phone turned off. *If you are married stay away from this company because their is good possibility you want be married in a few short years. *If you are prior Military they take you for granted and use and abuse you because they think you will adapt to their unbalanced way of life and culture. I'm sorry but the military was more balanced in their way of life and culture than Norfolk Southern. The military took more time to care about the well being of you andvyour family. * The military supported your time with family, Norfolk Southern seems to see your family as a hindrance to their operations.
