      Pros

      Salary Co workers Work outside Good benefits Job itself is very enjoyable when management isn't breathing down your neck

      Cons

      They hire you then find reasons to try and fire you No work life balance If you take your time and follow rules you'll get crap for not doing enough work, if you cut corners you'll get demerit points.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. When we recruit talent to our operations teams, we spend a lot of time going over the working conditions and 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. Thank you for continuing to be a safety leader. If you have concerns about safety, please share them with a member of your management team or your HR business partner. We thank you for your hard work and helping move our business and the economy forward.

      Great place for a co-op student

      Pros

      Great pay as a co-op student. Good variety of tasks for work experience. Good people to work with.

      Cons

      Much different as a full time new grad hire. They'll work you as hard as they want, and send you all over the province/country with limited notice. Pay starts well but doesn't scale with new responsibilities and increasing workloads.
