Pros

Good pay, not that hard of a job to do.

Cons

Terrible management - period! It does not matter what kind of employee you are, only if you are on the "hit list" to get rid of. Every employee has a target on their back, the only difference is how big of a target you have. Managers do not have any idea how to run a railroad and instead compensate with intimidation.
