      Railroading Ain't for Everybody

      Operations manager

      Pros

      Times have changed since Hunter took over and some people have lost their jobs in the process but if you wanted to work or transfer departments CP always had a job for you. The pay is great considering that not a lot of education is required you make really good money! Moving so much freight is fulfilling when you really think about it.

      Cons

      It can be an intense environment at times but everyone is expected to work with a sense of urgency. If you don't want to be here you will be dealt with accordingly. The culture before Harrison was too relaxed and there was hardly rule testing and now that operation managers are on the ground doing their jobs everyone is offended. Do your job efficiently and safely and their won't be a problem.

      Good Pay but no life

      Pros

      Good pay, valuable experience. There is a lot that you can learn working at this railroad because as a trainmaster you do it all.

      Cons

      No life, Long hours with very little off time. There aren't enough manager so most time you work long hours and are expected to be on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

      Pros

      Pay and benefits is okay. They are trying to change that and cut salary. Great Union working for the members which is much needed in this workplace. Used to be a great place to work but has changed for the worse

      Cons

      Since the American management took over the workplace has become unbearable. Lower management hates and fear the Executive levels.conditions, cruel american style management that manage without regard to anything but the rich shareholder. The place is run by an American millionaire CEO who wants to bust the Union and is doing everything he can to try it. In my opinion the executives under his leadership is running the morale into the ground and making the working conditions to the point of no one stays there once they figure out they have no life actually are firing people who are trying to take some family time off and who make minor errors in the workplace. There are numerous cases that have been ruled as unjust dismissals by arbitrators. Many managers and employees have quit due to the unreal expectations placed on them and their refusal to take part in this exercise of demoralizing the work place
