Pros
- people on the front lines, in the field AND in the office still trying to do their best. - more accountability in some areas with new management
Cons
- New CEO is a hypocrite - says he values people but just cares about the reason he was brought in - increase share price - You are expected to be available 24/7 - whether in the field or in the office - your life means nothing, even if your wife is in labour - To quote HR they aim for compensation to be middle of the road - doesn't work in Calgary if you want the best and brightest - but wait those people are quitting in droves anyway - Internal jobs no longer posted, you have to tell them exactly what role you want and hope someone likes you enough to call you up when that comes around - Mandatory conductor training. To quote/paraphrase the CEO "in case it's hunting season" and they need to fill some crews you might get called. - Move to Ogden for Calgary workers - if you live in the NW and can't afford a second car - welcome to 3 hours of transit a day - more when they cancel the "temporary" shuttle from the C-train on the south route. Driving won't be much better as only 2 ways in that won't be able to handle the volume. - Upper management Internal people who have survived the recent changes, performed above and beyond sacrificing their personal lives to make the new vision possible and still maintain respect of their employees get passed over for external hires - so no more moving up due to hard work.
