Pros

Overall great company. Culture is being heavily improved by upper level management with the new CEO spearheading this ONECSX initiative.

Cons

The last 5-7 years have left some negative lasting effects on those who are still with the company. Between many waves of lay-offs, losing additional people through attrition, the company has been struggling to attract and retain more talent as they recover from the recent years.

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.
