Pros

Work life balance is good for positions not in the field locations. (Feel a bit sorry for them though) Many opportunities to make a difference on projects. Leadership is approachable. Work culture is good.

Cons

Base salary is a bit lower than some industries with the same jobs. (Could be due to Jacksonville market) It's easier for an individual to leave their current team and get a promotion than be promoted in their current position even when exceeding expectations.

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.
