Pros

Money, travel, experience and pension.

Cons

Seniority gets worse not better as they cut jobs all year. Work/life balance is non existent. Always on call. You will never hold a regular schedule job until you’re at the end of your career.

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.
