Pros

Not much...they've turned it into the worst job in the country.

Cons

Everything. They try to fire you, you work in cold, rainy weather, the Trainmaster's micromanage your every move, they treat you like garbage, it's just NOT worth it anymore. Sometimes, you just really wonder if you're not better of dead than working for this Railroad. Everyone is treated like a SAVAGE! No life, no free time, you work holidays & weekends...POS company ran by idiots.

Pros

Depending on the team you are in, it can be very flexible, and you’ll be working with nice people.

Cons

HR needs to step in more, they are supposed to set a precedent yet it seems like the higher ups in different departments actually set the expectations. Which can be toxic, and some managers clearly don’t know how to manage teams. HR seems to be a nice and fun department, but the rest of the company has lackluster reviews. Also, stop advertising a total rewards package to new hires when you need to work over fiver years to get some benefits and due to the merger they won’t actually get that package. Just raise your base salaries.
