Pros

Manufacturing and rebuilding locomotives is wonderful challenge. It is satisfying to see 100 tons of steel roll out of the factory ready for service.

Cons

The industry is at the mercy of market peaks and valleys. Lay-offs and RIFs are typical. Workers are driven hard to meet the peaks and are later discarded when business is slow.

Pros

Very interesting work, market competitive for a non-union shop

Cons

No training structure, learn by doing, which depends on who you work with. Lack of drive from coworkers to finish projects. Definitely going through a transition period, but new shop manager has better vision for future.
