Pros

Money and benefits were really good. Most of the peers were really helpful and easy to get along with.

Cons

Work schedule is horrible. Economy is slow right now for the rail road. A lot of great people were furloughed and have no idea when they will be called back to work. With the economy so slow right now, the company is looking to fire anyone and everyone. You never feel that you or your job is safe.

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.
