It's nice to around trains and the excitement it brings each day.
Conductor (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA –
Pros: a great company to work to support your family!
Each day you will experience something different on this type of job wether it's about the job or the company or the person working alone with you. The most difficult thing about the job in is when you're being call to different hours of the night.

I enjoyed this job
CONDUCTOR TRAINEE (Former Employee), North Charleston, SC –
Pros: worked under a union
Cons: worked with a few racist people
building a train to take it to other locations. I learned how to do track warrants which ensures everyone that there are no movement on the thack but one train at a time. The hardest part of the job is school, which wasnt so bad. I enjoyed working with the engineers and yard foreman.

you will make a lot of money and have great benefits.
Engineer/Conductor (Former Employee), Macon,Ga –
Pros: money
Cons: no family time, bad family values
Well I will put this lightly. My dad was diagnosed with cancer in May 2010. I filed for fmla shortly thereafter. From that time to my firing i was wrote up for 6 minor disciplinary actions which was more than I had received in 5 years total. I tried to take off to go to another relative's funeral shortly after my dad died. They refused to let me off – more...  with permission and charged me with marking off with false pretenses. They lied on me at the investigation, and despite all the inconclusive evidence against me , I wasn't reinstated. To my own fault, I will say, I wasnt happy nor was I the best employee my last year there. All in all; good job, bad business practices. – less

Desk dispatcher (Former Employee), Atlanta, Ga –
Pros: solid reputation for longevity
Cons: on-call positions
I loved the company and their credo but I did not like the way some of the middle management employees addressed their subbordinants. Great pay. Great location. Bad middle management.

Great paying job with even better benefits!
