Pros

All the grand promises and because you made the mistake of already hiring years ago.

Furlough, driving endless hours unpaid, sleeping in your car, unsafe working conditions, unsafe living conditions, no family life or quality of life, low pay, having to fight for every single thing you're promised, hostile work environment, say goodbye to good physical health.

Pros

Pay, for one, highest paying job I've had yet. Health insurance is decent, yet has gotten worse over the years. But if you've had other employer offered insurance, you'll see it's considerably lower premiums.

Cons

Where do I start? 24/7 on call, train "schedule" inaccuracies constantly, which means you don't know when you'll go to work, no personal life, even tho they claim to be a family oriented company. Management is less than desirable. PSR ( precision scheduled railroading) ...worst idea ever, the idea of saving money, NOT making money by gaining customers, is their #1 priority. Cutting jobs, equipment and track maintenance has fallen to the wayside. No one around to fix anything anymore.
