Pros

The pay and tuition reimbursement up to $3500, decent benefits. Seniority and the union, it's honestly hard for me to come up with anything else that I see as a positive.

Cons

Very poor management, inability to move up in the company unless you are in with the right people regardless of education and abilities. Employees are not treated as assets or positives for the company and everyone mostly stays for the pay. Intimidation and good ol boy network is very strong here. There is no incentives to think outside the box status quo is what's expected and do not attempt to challenge long standing procedure's for lest you be accused of not being a team player. I work here currently but I desire to be challenged and promoted. If you desire higher than normal pay and not to be challenged in regards to your personal and professional development this is the place for you.

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.
