Pros

Good Pay and Benefits Pretty easy work Rail Road Social Security is much better than normal Social Security.

Cons

No job security. Someone is always watching, from an office window, from their car, even hidden in bushes with binoculars. Toxic environment, management vs employees.

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.
