Business outlook
Pros
Good pay and benefits. You live pretty independently seldom having any interaction with management. We are all union employees and have decent job protection which is very important out here.
Cons
Management is horrible (six sigma mngt system) from the top down. Without job protection, no one would be here more than 10yrs. Away from home a lot, no set schedule. Staying awake may be the most important and most difficult part of being a road conductor. Life may suck until you get some seniority.
