Pros

Pay and benefits are well compensated. Benefits plan just changed, and is now more expensive to the employee.

Cons

Fear from managers, team leads, and coworkers that if they had a knowledge or skill set, they shouldn't share it, thinking it made them indispensable. If you ask for more work and responsibilities be prepared to be moved from team to team.

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.
