Pros

Good bennies, that's about it. Starting pay is ok takes 5 years to reach top.

Cons

I got a psychotic power mongral for a foreman. Any questions were considered a challenge. Hung the job over my head, never read a resume, had no idea I had a LOT of railroad background. If you like sitting and doing nothing, a lot of overtime, and being at the bottom of the senority list for years and years,( means you work when NOBODY wants to) this job may be for you. If you are experienced, and are good at what you do, forget it, everyone knows better, I would say it was mainly the department I was in, there were some good people.....they were doers, not talkers.

Pros

Free rides on public transit

Cons

If you come in as entry level engineer the only way to move from entry level to higher level position is to wait the prescribed number of years, which is 2.5 years, even if you came in with experience
