Pros

They pay and benefits, most of the union employees are good guys, but that's all.

Cons

The management doesn't know their left from right. They came up with this quota that managers HAVE to meet having to do with safety violations. For instance, if you are not wearing your earplugs when you should be, you will be written up. That's fine, but I have witnessed "rules" being made up when the managers are falling behind on this quota. They are Hunter Harrison's little puppies that will follow his every word and command. This is not the company you want to move up in since all the management jobs eventually get abolished and you are stuck without a job. They only will promote you if there is someone else to fill your job, there is a lot of favoritism going on within the company. The moral of the company have dropped so far since the new CEO has taken over, it used to be a great place to work, but now time drags on. They made a new "policy" that if you mention CP in a bad light via social media, it is cause for automatic termination. So you can't have an opinion anymore. Don't apply here, go to Union Pacific. You will be a lot happier (trust me)
