Pros

Good money, good health benefits.

Cons

Dog eat dog based on seniority. It doesn't matter how hard you work or what you bring to the table. It just matters how long you can sit at said table. Don't have a family if you intend to work for the railroad.

Pros

Travel is paid for and you get per diem and hotel.

Cons

Hotels can be good, or they can be infested with bed bugs, leaving you with no other choices. Management cares about their metrics instead of the future of the company and your happiness. Coworkers will demean and harass you and management doesn't handle the issues present.
