Pros

Health Benefits and salaries are excellent. You get to travel, you get the opportunity to learn the transportation by train business. You also have the opportunity to advance through the ranks.

Cons

Seasoned employees don't take time to help you, could be more helpful when you are in your training stages of the job.
