Pros

Pay/benefits and the retirement, if you can make it 30 years

Cons

There is a contract that management agreed to and they never follow it. Not sure if I will have a job one day to the next. The company used to be a good place to work, seemed like they cared about the workers, but HH, the new CEO is an uncaring, ego-maniac. The company netted 1.7 billion in 2016. Apparently thats not enough, so lets change things and screw the people who made that possible.

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.
