Pros

Pay is excellent, with plenty of overtime opportunities. Health insurance is great, especially for families as dependents are no additional cost.

Cons

Expected to be on-call after hours throughout the week, and rotating mandatory on-call status every other weekend. Flexibility depends on adjoining maintainers and supervisor. No work-life balance, long hours. Safety is preached, but company goes through spells of not wanting to spend on proper tools or materials. High stress environment. Liability nightmare with grade crossings.

Pros

Beautiful, clean building and architecture

Cons

Stressful place to work with a disorganized and chaotic environment before and during the current acquisition where numerous contractors and FTEs secretly complain about being unhappy, unrealistic expectations, and need for massive corporate culture improvements.
