Pros

Very good pay and benefits. If you want to work, you will make money. If you don't want to work, you won't.

Cons

It is corporate America, so it is ultimately about the money! No real sick pay. Just approved 5 extra days for sick but there are definitely stipulations to this. Most MTO's appear to always be out to catch you. It is their job but some take to another level.

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.
