Pros

Great for those you like to work outdoors for a good wage. Being on the rails you get to see beautiful scenery, and are mostly alone to use your skills and judgment to do your job. Great camaraderie.

Cons

Having to endure being separated from your family. Never being able to plan anything because you are on an on call 24/7 schedule. Having to work all holidays. Having management come and borderline harass you and give you safety tickets, that take away from your employee score. Kinda like being treated like a child.

Pros

Good pay and benifits. When you need to take a day without pay for personal reasons they aways let me.

Cons

Hard on your body to walk on slag. Other employees take advantage of the company because they are in a Union and the sleep at work or slack off. When I got laid off it was with 7 other workers who were all hard workers we just didn't have the seniority. Wheras the older senior workers (not all but enough) were lazy and some would sleep or slack off 6 hours of a 8 hour shift.
