Canadian National Railway Reviews

Pros
The paycheck is OK and it is only usually an 8 hour shift, you don''t have to stay for overtime. The Dental plan is OK
Cons
It is very hard to get time off for family and social events and you will be working every weekend for years and years until you have enough seniority to you can get a job that will give you part of the weekend off. Most of the supervisors are not very competent and promotions are based on who you know not how much a person knows about the operation. If you don't show any passion for working their shifts and weekends be prepared to get RAILROADED!
Advice to Senior Management
treat your experienced employees with respect!
