Good people. Company was an amazing place to work before 2018.
Cons
Current CEO and former CITO have lost the trust of employees. 2019 was brutal. Layoffs, outsourcing with few details, hasty decision to cut bonuses for employees.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. 2019 was a tough year with labour stoppages and declines in volumes, which led to objectives that were not met. We understand your disappointment in regards to the bonus. As you know, we have made modifications to our bonus structure so that moving forward, the threshold to attaining even a partial bonus will be easier to reach.We recommend you speak with your manager or Human Resources Business Partner to share your thoughts.
Its what you make of it. Good union job with good benefits
Cons
You're always waiting on trains.

Thank you for your feedback and for your hard work. We pride ourselves on providing our team members with great benefits. We thank you for moving our business and the economy forward. Please share your thoughts with your manager and on your regular Interaction surveys.
Pays decently well for first job out of college. My manager and team are very reasonable with expectations placed on new hires. Working after office hours (past 4:30pm) is extremely rare and only expected in emergencies.
Cons
Very slow and/or limited job growth potential. Promotions into middle management are almost purely based on reputation with middle managers who are largely people with previous field experience. This is very disadvantageous to direct-from-college hires like myself and even my current manager.
