Pros

Good money when you have enough seniority to hold a good job. (10 years or more)

Cons

Management, cut safety, sell off 8000 miles of track, cut jobs all to try an show profit to jack the stock price for the next 2 years so they can pull all there money once they have inflated the stock price an watch the company come crashing down in flames.

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.
