Pros
Little to none. Maby pay if you are in another state than CA.
Cons
As other reviews state, workers at this company get little to no respect. I came from the military were discipline, respect and accountability were very high. There is none of that here. Everyday I see Facilities and vehicles that are tattered, littered, undertooled, ill-equipped and broken. Employee morale at an all-time low and getting worse by the day. No one cares about doing their job right instead just passing it on to the next person to make it become their problem. Locomotives and company vehicles run to death and are not maintained until they become a safety issue to the public and their own personal. To the eyes of management you are not a human, but a programmed robot that should not be making mistakes or having accidents. Make a mistake or have a accident and you are treated like you intentionally caused it even though it's only human to make mistakes from time to time. Safety first banners rain across company grounds however safety first here actually means better work safe to save us band aid money and your fired if you don't follow our complex and overly complicated safety rules that are impossible for a human to comply 100% with. The company doesn't care about how much their rules and operations stress you out or the anxiety that they create. they just care about how much profit they can squeeze out of you and where they can put the blame for their mistakes. Unions are useless because we can't even go on strike. Hardest part of the job is showing up knowing that I constantly have to deal with this stuff here. Best part about the job is going home. This industry use to be beautiful and vibrant, I know why it went downhill. You might think the money looks good, that's also what the CEO and stockholders thought, got greedy about it too. They made the industry end up like this. Stop looking for a job here because of the money and find something you can have a passion for.
