Hi everyone. This thread has been very helpful so far. But I have a few things that I didn't see.
1. Does anyone know if once you make it into the company are you eligible to move to a different department? How soon are you able to do that? Are you still in the union if you move to the engineering department?
2. Does LIRR have a sustainability department or section within the company?
3. How many years does it typically take to have a set schedule and not be on-call everyday? Is there overtime?
4. Was there anyone working a different fulltime job with another company that has been making more than the top pay + 401k but decided to give that up for this career + benefits?
5. In you're opinion is it worth it to give up a higher salary position at a different company to pursue this position with LIRR?
If anyone has any information on any of the above, I'd appreciate any help. Thanks so much!
