Pros

Good money but want get to get the chance to get to the decent salary with the constant cuts

Cons

No job security hire you just to furlough you corporate take over typical want more for less just to cut jobs and push people out. Which trickles down to the seniority system where you work the extra board base on openings due to vacations and call outs. Employees getting run down and effects the next person and management will write you up. Simply put company going through changes to trim cost and continue to go through changes.

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.
