Pros

I can't complain about the pay. That's about it.

Cons

Terrible place to work for they don't match 401k, vacation time is a joke. Jobs get abolished all the time. I don't feel appreciated I only feel like they are trying to figure out how to get rid of my job. I would never refer a friend to apply here.

Was great until Wall St joined.

Pros

Extremely easy to move up, since everyone is now quitting, or being downsized.

Cons

Being salary, and being forced to work 72 to 84 hours a week, 12 hour shifts. I've never regretted taking a promotion until Wall St. took the CP over. Half way to a RR pension and debating leaving the industry for good. If you are single and have no commitments to anything else in life, this is a great place for you. Need a divorce and time away from your family? Please apply.

Pros

Great People / Newer Engines /

Cons

Vacations are cancelled, underpaid on road, no days off by cabbing you away from home and resetting your HOS clock. Union is walked over. Employees with clean backgrounds that can get a train across to Canada end up on the worst subdivision with the smallest extra board. Employees who have background issues are not working nearly as hard and making the same money. No incentives for extra work performed. No holiday pay, that is only for people in yards and local jobs, not road. HR misrepresented job. Dark yards and not enough help- no brakemen on road trains and work would be sent to road trains so the company would not have to pay for a brakemen. Pre 85 employees make about 30% more than all other employees- even Engineers!
