      Pros

      Pay, benefits, railroad retirement, coworkers are big pros but that's about it.

      Cons

      They're always trying to fire you for anything and everything, work/life balance is terrible, always on call until you have the seniority to hold a "scheduled" job but can be bumped by a senior employee anytime, frequent furloughs, weak union, poor morale, ungrateful management, you pretty much have to call in sick just to get a day off.

      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.
