Job placement
We'll all in all it's okay I asked for 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and I was scheduled all around their schedule but not what I asked for and when you come back from returning from a trip you have to sit around and wait for another trip to be sent to your phone
ProsYou get to see the clear mountain side in drive
ConsSeniority is first

Great people
I've been with Railcrew express for almost 2 years. The area manager is 1 of the best bosses I've had in 20 yrs. Such amazing hard working people that are devoted to family. I'm proud to transport the train crews and assist whenever I can.

have nothing to say. it was very stressful and management was not properly trained which caused the day to day productivity to lack excellence. But the contracted railroad we worked for was a blessing and very patient with Railcrew Xpress
Prosthe work itself was not stressful

Good job
This is a job of data entry, with flexible hours and management that listens. The job is to support the railroads, to make sure that the trains make it to where they are going. I appreciated the time I spent there.

Waste of time
The pay for this job is lousy. The drivers are better off becoming truck drivers with the time and effort they put in. Due to this lousy pay managers suffer having to do the drivers job because most drivers refuse to work. Having been a manager you have to put up with lazy people, and at the same time your upper management is standing on your next. This is a very stressful job and I do not recommend it to anyone. The hours are up and down so do not look for full time work because once the railroad slows down you better have another job lined up.

Don't work here
They don't care about you. Low pay. No paid holidays. No support thru boss. Wouldn't go back. 15 hour plus days. I wouldn't go back. Current technology not properly utilized on this job.

not a great place to work
Railcrew was not a great place to work, the management was poor. Their was a lot of new employees who came in, and advanced because they knew management

Just a job
I enjoyed the driving aspect of the job. The being on call and varied amount of long hours wasn't always fun. I wish that the company offered more opportunities and benefits.
ProsEasy work
ConsBad pay and benefits
3.0
Upper respiratory issues, I had to wear a mask, which was detrimental to my own health, and subsequently, I was forced out of the company.
Really enjoyed the work and the people, but as specified above, the company has no ability to be flexible to any degree, even if being flexible actually works to their benefit.
ProsNo pressure if you simply perform in the position as a professional driver
ConsNo keys to get in the building after more than 3 months of employment, $10 per hour negotiated by the union.
