Pros

Who wouldn't want to work on locomotives? Opportunity to see all systems, work with engineering, manufacturing and field service. The job was always interesting. The technology is progressing rapidly. This job was seriously fun at times.

Cons

Oppressive work environment, excessive demands, grueling schedules, understaffed. Weekends? Yeah right... Managers with no apparent qualifications promoted. "Diversity" hiring to the extreme. Recent foreign grads hired over much more qualified American workers. Zero appreciation for what you just did, what will you do for them tomorrow? (And it better be done TOMORROW!)
