Pros

Pay when you work, free insurance for one year.

Cons

CSX will hire too many people, then cut you off from assignment due to the lack of work and over populated terminals. Be looking for another job at all times. Manager are there to ensure you are doing your job at all times, so you will be tested by them breaking the rules that they tell you to follow.
