3.4 You have no life, no birthdays, holidays, and emergencies don't matter anymore. You will have vacations, 401k, excellent retirement and benefits, and have easy days, and days that are complete hell, mainly caused by either the weather or the people you work with. Both of those make a huge difference in your work day. IT'S THE MOST DISORGANIZED COMPANY EVER, but chaos pays well. My first year I netted $72k, and this year $84k even though taking 3 months for training in which training pay sucks as I switched from track maintenance to freight conductor in June.... pay is a step-rate, and over a 5 year period will climb to 100%. Seniority is hard, and over time it gets easier, but at first it's stressful as hell. Look into where you're applying, as far as which union agreement it is, whether you hire on the BN side or the Santa Fe side. Guarantee rates of pay differ from region to region, and so do the kind of trains that are run. Remember, running the road trains, pay is made by mostly milage, so places like Arizona, California, New Mexico, etc...that run high priority stack trains that rarely get slowed down, and move at 70 mph from a to b, pay the most, differently from a place that has lots of stop and go industries and switch work that doesn't allow time to get good mileage in.....homework pays off... there's guys that make $2k a half, and there's guys that make $11k a half (every 2 weeks), all depends if you want a life or not... good luck!

3.4 Employed with the company since 2006. Very successful company and business levels are very high. Overall, a well run company, however, some departments could use a lot of housecleaning.The company pays well and likewise the benefits are good, but in some departments, the company doesn't seem to value experience and they do not place any value on helping employees to grow/develop and advance.

1.5 Horrible company, to work for, to do business with, just to exist. Expect to work on call 24/7/365 for the first 10 years of your career if not longer. Your allowed limited time off due to the super strict attendance policy. There the only job I’ve ever heard of you is trying to fire you the day after they hire you. The job always hasn’t been so bad, but every year they find a way to crush your soul. Go be a plumber, electrician, heavy equipment operator, you’ll be a lot happier and a lot richer. There is a reason there offering a $5000 hiring bonus. Because no one wants to work for such a horrible company. The only people who are still there are the ones who’ve worked there to long and don’t have the job skills to “go any place else at my age”. Be smarter, don’t get hired in the first place. All the nice reviews are from corporate people
