Pros

Pay, benefits, pension there is literally nothing else "Pro" about CP. If you're single, never plan on having a family or friends, it is the perfect job.

Cons

No schedule, on call 24/7 365, work 7 days a week, known by my employee number (Seriously, they don't know/call me by my real name), held away in bunkhouses for hours on end, You will never have a life, this place is not a job, its a lifestyle. Dont be fooled by the pay, seriously find something else. it is not worth it.

Pros

Pay is Scale in most crafts, much better pay then a Shortline/Regional Railroad. Fellow works all seem to get along and our willing to help each other get home alive at the end of the day. Medical Benefits are better then most jobs . Retirement benefits are good

Cons

Constant Harassment from Managers to produce work over safety Constant Changing of Management Managers have little or no experience Very Long Work hours in very brutal weather conditions 24/7 operation requires 24/7 availability, so little work/life balance Constant changing of the way business is conducted.
