Pros

Challenging work Lots of opportunity Smart people (salary employees) RR offers lots of challenging work with room to grow for those with the gumption. Lots of resources available for work and initiatives.

Cons

The attitude of most of the union employees (as well as some salary employees) is one of detached entitlement. Most of the salary employees want to move forward efficiently and productively while the majority of the union employees hamstring efforts with the same, tired union politics and shenanigans.
