Pros

Good bonuses typically, but you'll earn every penny with your blood sweat and tears

Cons

With the new leadership in place you might as well be working for the mafia. The environment is soul draining and ruthless. They expect 60+ hours of work/week and are looking at headcount everyday, so basically you're competing for your job on a daily basis. Management is out for themselves and could care less about the growth and advancement of their employees. People who advance are done so based and brown nosing and climbing over others, not on skill or experience. So you better put up and shut up. If this is your thing than you'll be a good fit.

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.
