Pros

You will make good money but only after several years of seniority, usually around 5 to 7 years.

Cons

No days off. On call 24/7/365 days a year. Will have to travel up to 5 hours to another terminal and wait to go to work. Will most likely be sleeping in your car. You will get furloughed often. This is just some of the negatives. Just go to work there and you'll find out more.

Pros

Good pay good hours great pay. Take home pay not as good. To much coming out of it. Union doesn't do anything for you.

Cons

Worst foreman I've ever had. Makes you feel like your stupid an cusses you all the time if you don't fit in his click. So many bid out of my. Vernon Illinois because of him. Stay away from Mt Vernon Illinois UP
