      Pros

      Great pay and benefits with not much physical labor. Yearly bonuses and pay increases

      Cons

      Work/life balance needs improving. Substantial time away from home. Not ideal off days and work days without tons of seniority. Unpredictable schedule requiring work both days and nights in random order

      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.
