Pros

The salary would be considered decent if based on a 40-hour work week. However, plan on working 60+ hours per week.

Cons

There is no work-life balance. Expect to work 60 - 80 hours per week on a regular basis. I was an industrious and diligent employee who received great performance reviews and several promotions. I sacrificed a lot for this company, working 80+ hours a week for a few years and I even relocated my family to Omaha. I worked for the company for almost ten years, but didn't qualify for railroad retirement until my position moved to Omaha. I was laid off two months' shy of qualifying for railroad retirement. Surprised? No. This company does not value its employees and will do whatever it deems necessary to save a dollar. Please heed my advice and do not work here. You will regret it.

Pros

No experience needed, decent pay. Some ok people.

Cons

Starting low seniority will have you moved all around the state potentially. Managers actively try to get you fired in some cases.
