    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
