Pros

Company pay, benefits, and bonus potential are greater than most Fortune 250 companies.

Cons

The current corporate culture is toxic as the company is continuing to look to reduce headcount in anyway possible. This has created a stiff culture of political posturing and deceit. In addition to the cultural issues, there is little to no work/life balance. There is a cost to the high salary and good benefits. Many employees complain that they don't get to spend the extra money they are earning because they are "on-duty" 24/7.

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.
