Pros

- Very talented team of experts. - Pay and benefits are high. - Access to training and resources to expand your career. - Leading edge technology.

Cons

- Recent changes in executive leadership have led to some fear, but we are coming out of that in a much stronger position both in terms of employee quality and economic success. - Large organization which sometimes leads to bureaucracy and slow speeds to get things approved in terms of projects and timelines. - Less focus on long-term success and more focus on short term gains. - Very capital focused which sometimes leads to decisions being made that aren't the best for the business.

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.
