One of the best jobs with no experince or degree required. Federal rules guarentee you will never work more than 9 hours a day. Excellent pay and benefits. Outstanding railroad retirment

Cons

24/7/365 job. Antiquated HR polices. Little to no input on day to day operations. No local HR rep. Due to federal regulations and the seriousness of the job, there is a high attritation rate. Can be extremely stressful

Business Outlook

Pros

Very personal, crews that I work with respect each other. Everyone is great at their job and is always willing to step up and help when needed. They all go above and beyond, every day. When you attend an event, company dinner, etc, the HR staff know and call you by name. You don't have to tell them who you are, they recognize right away. Makes you feel like an actual person and not a number. Great benefits and very little cost out of check.

Cons

Pay could be a bit higher but there is always opportunity for some overtime.
