Pros

Great company and great people. The benefits are great and railroad retirement is something to looks forward to and is great security.

Cons

It's takes a long time to get to the top since everyone stays employed for the duration of their whole career...so you definitely have to wait for your chance.

Pros

Decent pay and good benefits. Working at the heart of American transportation. Average job satisfaction. Great retirement if you make it that far.

Cons

Little time off. No family life. No teamwork. Poor union work ethic. All the responsibility but no real authority. Never any good news. Wears you to the bone.
