Pros

The job offers good pay and benefits. You don't have a boss breathing down your neck.

Cons

You have no set schedule. You are way from home a great deal. If you are married, you're probably gonna be divorced before too long.

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.
