Pros

Retire at 60. Better than average benefits.

Cons

How much time you got? Hostile, punitive work environment. Instead of trying to be leaders, management actively tries to find failures to reprimand you. They are under pressure from their supervisors to do so. They literally follow you around and fly drones and will knitpick a rule book as thick as a dictionary to find failures on you.

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.
