Pros

Excellent pay, decent union backing, decent benifits, you pay into railroad retirement instead of social security, your wife gets a retirement also.

Cons

Poor management, bad work life balance, most employees have a poor outlook on life, relocation seems to be inevitable so dont plan on settling down.

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.
