Pros

Extensive and above average benefits package Excellent earnings potential

Cons

It is a 24/7-365 job, no such thing as holidays/holiday pay on the road Be prepared to sacrifice everything you know in your personal/home life as you are now married to the rails. Management is typically made up of fresh recruits from college or other businesses with no rail experience

Pros

Fair minded and supportive management. Not directly involved in RR management, so did not have the same hours or demands as many do.

Cons

None really--large publicly held company. Working on a contract basis, so can't speak to benefits.
