Pros

You can make a lot of money taking road trains. The yard is good money if you can hold a job but they do monitor your hours in the yard.

Cons

There is not much of a home life. Your on call unless you can hold a yard job. This job is about making strictly money. If you worried about a schedule then this job isn’t for you. Random calls

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.
