Pros

The pay, benefits and retirement are good.

Cons

On call 24/7/365 and no social or family life. Management is always intimidating and threatening your job. I would NOT advise anyone to go to work for this company. Hunter Harrison has destroyed a good place to work.

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.
