Business Outlook
Pros
There are a lot of opportunities to work on interesting and challenging projects, particularly in new technologies being deployed across the rail network.
Cons
Drawing from the CPKC management lexicon, you'll find words like "consequence" and "tension" and that filters down to the leadership style in the company. They also gloss over overtime by calling it "discretionary effort"... and leaders will say that "discretionary effort" is required, so not entirely sure if they know what discretion means. Work life balance was not very good.
