Pros

The pay, insurance and if you can make it railroad retirement

Cons

The hours, and expectations to be available 24/7. They no longer value their employees. The old saying goes, they spend all of their time trying to hiring you, then from that point on all of their time trying to fire you. Precision railroading is the death of them.

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.
