Pros

- Upcoming opportunities for advancement in the near future due to revolving door attrition - DB pension plan for unions and management hired before summer 2010

Cons

- Culture of terror - No respect for personal time off. Panic email and calls on weekends and even during vacation to be addressed immediately. Creates a lot of stress on employee and family. - Mandatory program to become a train conductor or locomotive engineer - Relocation out of downtown Calgary to a windowless warehouse in an industrial area at Ogden - Poor communication - Need to pick up the slack of the many employees leaving for oil and gas, with no recognition for the extra effort - Poor communication and management style: "if you don't like it, don't be here"

Pros

Pay is decent for the amount of work. Also there is a lot of dead time and waiting around because its very unorganized.

Cons

not knowing when your going to work and bosses take advantage of you. Getting time off for even a day is hard. you have to explain why you called in sick even if you hadn't booked a sick day for a year.
