Pros

I can't think of a single pro, the money for a non college degree job I guess

Cons

Away from home constantly in crappy hotels, management constantly circles employees like hawks looking for ways to fire them, no social life, on call 24/7 and usually get called in to a 12 hour trip right as you try and get sleep.

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.
