Signal Maintainer in Pasco, WA
on June 8, 2023
The job is hard on family time, it takes over 10 years to get 3 weeks of payed vacation, and 2-5 years to land a desirable position (depends on area). If you do your job and follow the rules you can make a career and good money. But if you get out of line, or want to be a diva, coming to work could become tough. The training never ends, both mandatory and optional.There are cycles of good and no...

I have worked for BNSF in the signal department for over 12 years. in that time i have seen the company slowly begin treating their employees worse and worse. the write ups are out of hand. you are expected to cut corners and skip safety steps to meet deadlines, but when caught, are written up. the home life / work balance is heavily in favor of the company. you will be traveling everyday, staying...

Not the greatest and not the worst job out there. You work 8 hour shifts. It's all about seniority. If you're an electrician or machinist expect to be on 2nd or 3rd shift with Tuesday Wednesday off for 10 years plus.
Conductor in La Crosse, WI

I worked the job for ten years and just had to get out. When I hired out it was a good job, decent home/life balance, you could take time off. I missed some holidays but not a big deal. I had pride in my company and job that I did. But that slowly changed as they took it all away. No more home/life balance, could only take one day off a month, constant threat of being fired for attendance. Managem...
