Pros

Pay is good when working, very enjoyable job to have and not the exact same every time out. When hired a school is required to teach the basics.....very good course.

Cons

Upper management talks a good game on we care about our employees, but the fire breathing dragon rears it's head regularly to layoff hundreds at a time before Xmas every year till mid to late spring. The huge unspoken word of the company is LOYALTY....almost a sin to mention.

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.
