Pros

Acceptable rate of pay. Adequate benefits package. Pension program available.

Cons

Hostile work environment. May be on call 24-7. 2 hours to report to work when called. Hard on one social life, family, friends, etc. Management seems more interested in aggressive discipline than employee development.

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.
