Pros

The crappy yearly calendar they send you.

Cons

Where to begin...unprecedented bad work environment, mental abuse, sky high stress, zero ability to have a semblance of a normal life, threats, high rate of suicide and divorce, railroad only treats you as a number, attendance policy is horrific if not illegal. Endentured servitude.
