      Pros

      The pay is very good. The system is workable so that if you and a union buddy cooperate you can manage to get specific days off.

      Cons

      You have no social life. Sometimes you don't even have a home life. Extremely combative environment between union and management. The entire system is designed to get their employees in trouble. They do whatever they want and do not care about their employees at all. Management has no clue how to run a railroad. They openly acknowledge that they're ignoring what the customers want so they can fudge their numbers and try to appease the stock owners.

      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.
