      Pros

      It could be a great career as a railroader but there's so much that they don't teach that they harass you instead

      Cons

      If you thought school yard bullies are only in school then work for Canadian National

      It's a transportation company, not a communications company, and it shows.

      Pros

      Field positions don't have a boss looking over your shoulder at all times, actual work itself is not that physically or mentally demanding. When supplied, equipment (tools, vehicle, etc) are a great asset. Benefits (insurance, 401K, stock) are good.

      Cons

      Grossly incompetent management, absolutely no technical support in the US, dangerously failing infrastructure that you are responsible for, work/life balance not worth the money, no time off ever, management blatantly disregards union contact, critical information for job withheld in order to advance agendas/personalities.

      Pros

      The pay is good .

      Cons

      The bullying tactics and discipline procedures are a joke. It's appalling.The blatant disregard this company has for union agreements is at its worse. They do what they want to anyone and seem to get away with it. They have sold off assets, cut jobs, treat their employees horribly, and jeopardize employee's safety over their lack of fixing equipment. Their attitude is as long as they can blame it on employee failure, its okay to do. Sad to see a company that was once a place you were proud to work, now an embarrasment. And the bottom line, it's all over greed and the all mighty dollar.
