Pros

Good pay and benefits, especially the retirement pension. Yes, I said pension. Healthcare is pretty good as well. Many options to move around within the engineering craft.

Cons

Nearly 100% travel, vacation scheduling is terrible because work schedule is constantly changing. Also only 2 weeks of vacation until 8 years, then only 3 till 15. No sick time.

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.
