Pros

Good money,benefits etc. Can go out immediately and make the money it takes some with degrees to have.

Cons

Layoffs other than that your terminal managers are going to determine how good or bad your work life will be. Just don't get hurt or break a rule ever cuz the wrath of God is coming down on ya.

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.
