Pros
Good pay and benefits. Opportunities for advancement vary depending on which department you work for.
Cons
Serious disjoint between management and craft people. Craft people are subject to Railroad operating rules and punishment for deviation from the rules is often times exaggeratted. Management is always looking to blame as opposed to identifying root causes. If, for example, 70% of your workforce is in some way violating rules, don't you think something may be wrong with the training program? Or maybe the workers are overloaded? Maybe they aren't getting proper rest. Please, look at the root cause instead of assuming everyone, who is human is, deliberately trying to undermine the company that they work for.
