Pros

Good group of guys when they actually stick around. Good way to gain experience to transfer to a real railroad.

Cons

Mamagement is completely and utterly inept. Watco does NOT practice the "Foundation Principles" it preaches; not in any way. Equipment is old and outdated. They also fancy themselves a "family company", then use your family against you during investigations if you screw up. The pay is over $25,000 per year under the big railroads. The health insurance is expensive and bad, and only getting worse. Look elsewhere.
