Pros

Pay can be good some time, health benefits. But all that is slowly getting worse due to the company changing our contract and the union just standing by doing nothing.

Cons

Work life balance, hardly any time at home to be father or husband. Management can't be trusted, all they care about is stock price going up by any means necessary. Work environment is always negative, and no sort of real ethics in this company. Pay union dues only for company to disregard contract and union does nothing.

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.
