Pros
Great pay for zero education requirements, but requires a strong body, thick skin, and a steady head on your shoulders. 10 free round-trip Amtrak tickets a year.
Cons
Definitely the poorest ran company I've worked for outside of contracting out to UP (which was really bad). WAY too many newbies being made to feel like they're hot stuff for having one hour of seniority over someone else. Management pulled from various sectors and put into foreman positions on tie gangs without having every worked as a groundman. HORRIBLY (and I can't stress that enough) MAINTAINED EQUIPMENT. Seriously, for being federally funded, it's INCREDIBLE how bad the machinery is.
