Pros

Executive management (CEO, CFO, CIO, etc.) is absolutely, without exception, top notch. Great benefits, flexible time off policies, the best co-workers I've ever had, good PC work environment

Cons

More meetings than productivity, advancement gridlock, inconsistent performance management, self-promotion is rewarded while production receives more work. Many long-timers are completely complacent and snarl at the suggestion of change. Employees are behind in technology knowledge (more snarling) and scoff at the knowledge of younger peers.

Pros

Fair minded and supportive management. Not directly involved in RR management, so did not have the same hours or demands as many do.

Cons

None really--large publicly held company. Working on a contract basis, so can't speak to benefits.

Pros

Simple business model which is dependent on customer service.

Cons

Board is run by an Activist Investor. Company officers for the past 10 year have been bleeding off company assets and reducing operational capabilities in exchange for short term valuations. Many of these senior leaders were brought in with documented history of sexual misconduct and questionable corporate ethics. Their only qualification they need is that they were former managers under the Hunter Harrison regime at Canadian National.
