Pros

The pay is better than most these days

Cons

You're just an employee ID number. Too many people given positions that require extensive railroad knowledge and yet they have absolutely none. For example, someone with a degree in accounting is hired as a Trainmaster, but this person has no prior transportation experience. The employees in the field would be the better candidates.

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.
