I’m not going to commuter - Metra has been reported within the last few months to be facing financial woes and time off, health insurance, FMLA, etc is in the air.
Brace yourself for a furlough on the freight side.
Yea Metra did take all the up people. I work for Metra and I’ll be the first to tell you it’s the same sh-t except people at metra some are cool but most are a--holes. Nobody want to help you do anything. Kind of regret coming here. Your first couple of years you get bumped all over Chicago land. Miss my freight people. Yea it’s heavier work but people for the most part will help. No training here no nothing actually looking for another job.
Unless I missed something, Metra has been financial woes for years not months.
