Pros

money and benefits are pretty good for a job that requires no education. The company is ran like the government so you don't work to hard.

Cons

You are part of a union and can be bumped out of your job allot. You never know from one day to the next if the company will cut a job off and its up to you to find a place to go and this can be anywhere since they are so spread out. I have moved twice with the company so far and cam in the other day and they cut my job off again. Also on call 24/7 and the phone rings off the hook.

Pros

Fair minded and supportive management. Not directly involved in RR management, so did not have the same hours or demands as many do.

Cons

None really--large publicly held company. Working on a contract basis, so can't speak to benefits.
