May 1, 2023 - Freight Conductor in Louisville, KYRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
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.

Apr 13, 2023 - Freight Conductor in Baltimore, MDRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
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.
