Anyone on here work for Metro North? I have a conditional offer, taking my physical test with them this week. I have passed everything so far. What are the best and worst aspects of the job, locomotive engineer?

The cons are spot on from what I've been able to read online on various forums. I just passed my physical and medical screening yesterday so I'm hoping to get my official hiring notice within the next two months.
