Pros

The pay, benefits and retirement are good.

Cons

On call 24/7/365 and no social or family life. Management is always intimidating and threatening your job. I would NOT advise anyone to go to work for this company. Hunter Harrison has destroyed a good place to work.

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.
