Pros

Great pay when you come to work. Since new 2020 plan with Precision Railroading within the company; if you make the cut you will be working everyday for over 12+ hours most days.

Cons

Say goodbye to personal life and your family. you're missing birthdays, graduations, holidays. and if you call off. you get punished. Not to mention they keep cutting people to save themselves some cash. good luck holding a job unless you got 15+ years of seniority. even those guys are wondering if theyre gonna have a job the next day
