Pros

Ok pay, decent benefits, good retirement.

Cons

Horrible management from top down, horrible shifts, never know when you’ll get off, not conducive to family or personal life, not safe at all, one of the 4 top worst managed companies in the Fortune 500. No weekends, constant change in culture, investor driven, ran by a hedge fund….. no, I’m not a “disgruntled employee” this place just sucks for everyone in this Dept in general.

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.
