Pros

Decent pay and benefits. A unique occupation.

Cons

No schedule. Pay not competitive with other railroads. The company claims to want the best for their employees, but their actions prove the opposite. Legitimate concerns not taken seriously.

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.
