      Pros

      pays the bills. lets me come to work every day. I get a half hour lunch. I could participate in a 401k if they paid enough

      Cons

      hometime = none. emplyees are an expense and treated as such. they don't want you to have a family and if you do they don't want you to be able to care for them. The only business ethic they have is to make the owner in Canada as much money as possible.

      It is unfortunate that you do not feel as though you can participate in Loram's 401k program, as it is one of the top programs in the country. Loram has a 150% matching program. If you believe that you should be paid more, I suggest that you speak with your Union Representative, as your pay is negotiated by your union. The contract is renewed every 3 years. Since you state that you are a shop worker at Loram, you would be working on one of the two shifts we have: 7am-3pm or 3:30pm-11:30pm. Overtime work is typically optional, with occasional mandatory overtime required. Again, if this is something you don't like - speak with your union, as they are the ones who negotiated the hours of work for you.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits equal to Class I Railroads - very good benefits Learn to become mechanically inclined Paid company travel Paid hotels when in field Monthly safety dinners for no accidents

      Cons

      Some field positions require 80-110 hours per week Dangerous job to be sleep deprived Management expects perfection even during an 80+ hour week They quote a salary of $50,000 a year - this only happens if you work more than 80 hours a week Exposure to elements (however you are warned about this) Management more interested in production than safety. For example railroad foreman are only allowed to work 8 hour shifts. LORAM circumvents this policy by allowing its employees to only work 8-12 hours per shift on track. This doesn't include maintenance, start-up/shutdown, of travel to and from machine. It becomes easy to create a 16+ hour day very quickly. Dirty hazardous work environment
