CSX Conductor Reviews

Pros

Good money and good benifets

Cons

No free time to spend with family

Pros

Very good pay and benefits. If you want to work, you will make money. If you don't want to work, you won't.

Cons

It is corporate America, so it is ultimately about the money! No real sick pay. Just approved 5 extra days for sick but there are definitely stipulations to this. Most MTO's appear to always be out to catch you. It is their job but some take to another level.

Pros

Weekly Guarantee is about $1450.00 on Extra Board

Cons

On call 24/7, Short on Personnel

Pros

Pay is reasonable for the work

Cons

Sick time and home time is terrible

Pros

Decent Pay, Some Decent Coworkers that are willing to help and answer questions. New hire earn 100% pay upon markup. The new CEO seems like he wants to change the culture. They gave $123 for boot allowance.

Cons

Supervisors watch you like a hawk with eyes in the sky(Drones). Write ups for petty and made up infractions. Long hours, loss of social life.

Pros

Pay is decent, even though contract literally got shoved down our throats....some mgmt is great, some is stuck in the old ways (enjoy firing people...but that's what job insurance is for)

Cons

Conductors work a 6&1 schedule on extra board, supposedly going to 6 &2 eventually...senority in some areas takes forever to acquire. And all of the class 1s are trying to do away with the conductor positions

Pros

Good Pay and Benefits Pretty easy work Rail Road Social Security is much better than normal Social Security.

Cons

No job security. Someone is always watching, from an office window, from their car, even hidden in bushes with binoculars. Toxic environment, management vs employees.

Pros

You can make a living wage.

Cons

It’s the railroad. It doesn’t matter the company the railroad industry as a whole wants all of your time all of the time.

Pros

Pay is good. That's it

Cons

Literally everything sucks about it.

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.
