Pros

Money is decent. Employee share program is good.

Cons

Schedule is awful. Don't expect weekends off for at least 3 years. Working environment not great - it's a very 'them' vs 'us' mentality between the union workers and management. The union is useless, as was our union representative.

Pros

Good pay, great co-workers, Excellent pension. Satisfaction of getting a train from A-B safely. Fantastic scenery through the Fraser canyon.

Cons

Poor leadership at first level management. Micro managed work force by those that don't know what they are doing. No set schedule for work, 2 hour call, available 24/7/365 with inability to be properly rested in between trips.
