Pros

Good benefits and pay for Jacksonville. The Pension and RR Retirement for long term employees are great benefits, although they are not as good for the new hires as they once were.

Cons

Company has been reducing headcount for years. The latest cuts place more of a burden on employees. Current environment is one of fear to lose your job. This isn't the family atmosphere that was there years ago when I started.

Pros

Fair minded and supportive management. Not directly involved in RR management, so did not have the same hours or demands as many do.

Cons

None really--large publicly held company. Working on a contract basis, so can't speak to benefits.

Pros

Simple business model which is dependent on customer service.

Cons

Board is run by an Activist Investor. Company officers for the past 10 year have been bleeding off company assets and reducing operational capabilities in exchange for short term valuations. Many of these senior leaders were brought in with documented history of sexual misconduct and questionable corporate ethics. Their only qualification they need is that they were former managers under the Hunter Harrison regime at Canadian National.
