Pros

Per diem, travel to crappy places nationwide, sometimes cool work locations, paid holidays after 1 year, financial help getting your class a cdl

Cons

Working in the elements outside year round, horrible management, unskilled office personnel running things. You must be able to get your class a cdl quickly, during your off time, you most likely won't get any practice time.

Pros

Manufacturing and rebuilding locomotives is wonderful challenge. It is satisfying to see 100 tons of steel roll out of the factory ready for service.

Cons

The industry is at the mercy of market peaks and valleys. Lay-offs and RIFs are typical. Workers are driven hard to meet the peaks and are later discarded when business is slow.

Pros

As an ME, I learned a lot about engineering, tool design, locomotive systems

Cons

Overbearing PC HR department. "Chosen Ones" are moved out of the way of the consequences of their own incompetence. Constant layoff cycle. Besides the "Chosen Ones", you have a good old boy club. CEO advised employees to "move closer to work" when raises were low and fuel prices were high. Great advise for people subject to massive RIFs every few years.
