Pros

Extensive and above average benefits package Excellent earnings potential

Cons

It is a 24/7-365 job, no such thing as holidays/holiday pay on the road Be prepared to sacrifice everything you know in your personal/home life as you are now married to the rails. Management is typically made up of fresh recruits from college or other businesses with no rail experience

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.
