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.
