Pros

Train drivers are good blokes, but there is not a lot of work to do as the leadership team are so slow.

Cons

The CEO struggles to make a fast, logical or rational call. The shots are too slow and the business stays stagnant, leaving employees and contractors frustrated, further contributing to increased operating expenses. The HR exec is payroll and penny pinches, this behavior upsets employees and isn’t conducive to building positive long lasting culture that captivates a focus on relationships and well-being. The CFO seems to struggle to provide effective capital allocation to build new revenue streams within the business. The VP of marketing and sales, well no one knows what he does, as a former employee’s consulting webpage has been deemed more professional than the company’s website. The GM of operations is a customer service officer, having a go in sales and relationship management. The head of operations in rail usually has on the job technical experience and understands what the drivers go through.
