Pros

Pay is very good compared to the complexity of the job(s). People here seem to be more relaxed than other fortune 500's.

Cons

Can be dangerous at times. Even if you do your job right people can get seriously injured and worse. Job security is no longer a reality regardless of seniorty or position. Lots of creepy stuff.

Pros

Weekends & Holidays. Pays overtime & Holidays if required to work Christmas. Work with people from diverse backrounds.

Cons

If you get run over by a train it hurts. Also some rail fans will (In Extreme) case pose as employees. It gets weird when that happens.
