Pros

Not an office environment, decent pay

Cons

Transportation department is treated like 2nd class workers. Quality of life is non-existant, work around the clock in 12plus hr shifts. Better have a doctors note and hope they accept it if you get sick. Actually I could go on an on about the cons , there's a lot so I'll leave it at that.

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.
