Pros

Pretty good healthcare benefits Pay was ok when you finally made it to 100% compensation Paid holidays and usually closed up for Thanksgiving Christmas and New Years

Cons

Disliked the us vs. them attitude between union and management. The work hours are difficult to adjust to since everything is based on union seniority and bid process. Some of the buildings and facilities are pretty run down and not in great parts of town ... safety on the job can be an issue.

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.
