Pros

fun, easy job. you get to see places you normally wouldnt from a one of a kind perspective. if you like to travel it is a lot of fun and the work is not hard at all.

Cons

the hours are rough being on call 24/7. it is difficult on relationships because sometimes you have to leave in the middle of dinner or during a movie.

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.
