Pros

The pay & Benefits are solid.

Cons

The schedule is absolutely terrible, they preach good benefits but what good are said benefits when you can't even schedule a day off? The crew callers will force you to work on approved days off. Overall employee morale is absolutely awful. You will spend days away from home with not a word from anyone as to when you will come home. You're essentially getting hired to get fired. The company is actively trying to talk the FRA and STD into removing the position entirely, so firing you makes it that much easier.

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.
