Pros

-> Lots of opportunities to change roles within Finance and outside into other groups at CP (lots of people rotate around and its encouraged) -> Advancement is based on ability/merit, not about being in a role for a certain amount of time -> Finance/Accounting is important part of the company and the team helps drive results across the entire company. -> Stable company, backbone of the economy, lots of opportunities to grow -> CP is an integral part of the North American economy so there is always something interesting going on. -> Strong ESG credentials - I didn't realize that train transport is the most fuel efficient/green form of transportation in the world. -> Lots of freedom to make improvements to processes, etc. and to feel like you are adding value to the company

Cons

-> CP is not the company to work for if you want to 'coast' The work is challenging, but it will be rewarding

Pros

Non , you are getting always negative Feedback ,from Yardmasters, you got to be the Diesel Doc as Traincrews call you always during your 12 hour shift and expect you to answer their technical questions , anything goes wrong like to long of fueling duration of a 100 series train , you get called by your Boss from Calgary , On top of all your Planning/dispatching Locomotives ,you are in charge of maintenance Shop craft employees to supervise them , so all in all very stressful . There is always a push for Locomotives from the Diesel shop, as you need those locomotives to substitute for a bad order locomotive on an incoming train , its an ongoing battle regarding locomotive availability. In my time there was this remote yard train set up , called Mother -daughter radio controlled ,which burned down after an accident , the yardmasters will hold you responsible if there is anything wrong with it like dropping load , brake problems etc. Then there is the mandatory employee evaluation , witch is ongoing , you MUST produce at least on FAIL every week , that could be safety fails , like no hard Hat worn etc. If you don't complete this employee failure report your Boss from Calgary when he visits Moose Jaw , will remint you of you obligation as a Supervisor , you must have this one FAIL on one of your employees.. You as the Planner are always in the Hot seat , and we all know where Stress leads to ..Heart attack, high blood pressure etc. So if you want to be a Production Supervisor/ Planner in Moose Jaw by all means go ahead , you will find out what it is like .

Cons

The money is good, but there are other ways and Jobs where you dont end up , with a Heart attack.
