Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, always something different to work on.

Cons

Takes advantage of you as much as possible. Forced OT even if you can't stay due to prior engagements. Constantly writing you up for little stuff. Attendance program is garbage. If your late to work due to the entrance being blocked you gets punished, but when you have to wait in the yard for 30 minutes after your shift they don't pay you.

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.
