Pros

In recent years, CSX had developed a positive culture that balanced the needs of all stakeholders, including employees, shareholders, regulators and communities under a long standing executive team. A tremendous amount of growth and development for all involved, while recognizing that the results mattered and everyone was held accountable.

Cons

New management team, backed by a hedge fund, has reversed all the positive momentum build over the last 2-3 years. Now, the entire focus is on bottom line impact for shareholders at the expense of employees and all other constituencies.

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.
