Pros

Good pay, benefits, and opportunities. Lots of room for upward movement if you want it. Can be done in a relatively short period of time. Good relocation package and retirement can't be beat.

Cons

The job is not condusive to family life. The management training program is 6 months of living in hotels with no guarantee of placement upon completion. Most transportation managers work about 60 hours per week. Has a political corporate culture common in most big businesses.

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.
