      Go to a different city if you want to operate a train.

      Pros

      Paid training. Paid weekly for train operators.

      Cons

      Horrible schedule. Low pay- Train operators in Dallas are paid twice as much because they are considered "conductors", even though train operators in Houston do the exact same thing. Health insurance benefits are incredibly high for a 'government job'. $80 a week for a PPO plan for ONE person?!! I had free insurance when I worked at a start up tech company. Pathetic. Some days you are scheduled to just be in the 'yard'. Certain supervisors expect you to look busy, when there is literally nothing to do. They also can be very condescending and are on a power trip. Don't even get me started on 'Rail Control'. They think are are Gods for some reason.

      Pros

      If going to work and sleeping is your objective, work here. If stealing things along side your forman is a good thing to you, work here. If you have no ability to troubleshoot, repair, and test equipment, work here. All you need to do is be able to hold a wrench while you sleep on the job. You'll be there for 40 years.

      Cons

      Metro likes your urine. ALOT. If you have a disability preventing you from dropping your pants and urinating at any given moment on demand, this job isn't for you. I think they like the smell of it. Might as well just never urinate until metro passes you a cup . Because if you can't, then you will have your livelyhood taken from you. If you sometimes are late, like as in 00:00:01 late, you won't make it. Do this a few times. You will have your livelyhood taken from you.
