Pros

Pay is good, benefits are good and has a stock program

Cons

Employer doesn't care about their employees. They say safety is a concern but its all about how the pie chart is divided up. They don't care about you or your family they just want the bottom $. 1 in 4 managers are good. They company refuses to try and improve work life balance.

Thank you for your feedback and for your hard work. We pride ourselves on providing our team members with great benefits and pay. Safety is a core value at CN and we make sure to provide our employees with the necessary tools and training to work safely. We also provide a number of ways for employees to share and escalate safety concerns so please escalete your concerns whey you have them. When we recruit talent to our teams we spend a lot of time going over the realities associated with the railroad operating 24/7/365 days a year, including how being on call can disrupt your family life and important events. We strive hard to create a work environment where all employees have an opportunity to develop and grow their career. We thank you for helping move our business and the economy forward. Please share your thoughts during our regular pulse and Interaction surveys.
