      Good pay overshadowed by terrible leadership

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The pay is good, but not worth it.

      Cons

      Worst leadership I have ever seen in my life, at least in Cleveland. The managers are only out for themselves. I never have been part of a company that will stab you in the back because you do to good of a job. Do NOT waste your time!!!!!!

      Customer service focus undermined by questionable leadership

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.
