Pros

pay is decent for MTO when bonus is good.

Cons

terminal MTO works 5 on 2 off if they are lucky, but unless you are at a MAJOR terminal (Waycross, Selkirk, etc)...no days off unless on vacation. 7 days a week and on call 24 hours a day. Promotion potential is alomst zero since they can't keep people in MTO jobs since they work 7 days a week.

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.
