Pros

None really worth mentioning. Job.

Cons

Lowest paid class 1 rail road. Unclear agenda, high level of uncertainty with new CEO. Union does not fight for fair pay for employees when compared to other class 1 rail roads, example the average class 1rail road conductor makes about 425 as a daily rate while CSX pays its conductors 238 daily for 8hrs.

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.
