Canadian National Railway – “Great company for the motivated worker out there”

Pros

The job is very easy to do does not require an extreme amount of effort or knowledge and they are willing to train you on any other job that you are willing to learn or any piece of equipment or machine you want to learn about. The senior staff is very easy going and willing to help you in any way to make your job easier. They are not afraid to spend money on new equipment if you can convince them you need it to make the work go faster or easier they will buy it. The pay is great for the amount and difficulty or the work.

Cons

The hours can be quite long they are shifts that work 12 hour days for either 3 or 4 days then they get 3 or 4 days off. Also normal workers are asked to work a lot of overtime and give up days off to work overtime on weekend but you are paid well to do it making 1.5 times for overtime and double time for Sunday's. While the overtime is not mandatory not working the overtime will make it difficult to make it into senior management fast.

Advice to Senior Management

Find more workers to your current ones do not burn themselves out with the overtime.
