      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good pay, excellent training, great benefits.

      Cons

      Little or no family life, no upward mobility, glass ceiling for minorities( look at UPPER management), Very stressful( ever heard of "run-off insurance"?). Benefits come thru Union/ you must belong to a Union. Constant testing and evaluation. Somewhat dangerous, easy to get killed or dismembered on the ground as a conductor. Very adversarial relation with management who must "test" and have a percentage of "failures" resulting in punishment (usually time off without pay).

      Business outlook

      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.
