Pros

Trains. Tracks. History. Can't think of anything else positive to say about this company.

Cons

Working under Hunter Harrison was a nightmare. Terrible senior management, no respect for anyone. An culture of fear and layoffs. Run by the highest paid CEO in Canadian history from a horse ranch in Florida. A horrible new corporate headquarters where management is segregated. Really ugly stuff.

Pros

there is decent income potential, room for advancement, company stability and a job for 30+ years if you want it, access to a pension and retirement security.

Cons

Very poor work life balance, shift work that results in working irregular hours and often working through the night, treated like a paid slave.

Pros

Great history, great peer group (those who stayed). Good benefits and perks for the higher-ups. Nice new workplace.

Cons

The place is loaded with bullies, running scared for their jobs and threatening everyone in sight. Terrible culture since Harrison came to town. Lots of questionable practices. Everyone is looking for someone to fire.
