If it’s 3 - 5 stars and generic review it’s CP’s HR Dept try to boost ratings - no joke
Pros
Health care is decent. Pension is OK but not great (no 401k match)- but you can get that at any rail job. Pay is just so so.
Cons
Short and to the point. This company should have a class action lawsuit against it by its workforce. I’m not a complainer - in fact a hard worker with a college degree. I’ve held many jobs in transportation. Massive harassment. Constantly time off for smallest infractions like shoes not tied and safety vest with a button that came undone. Forget to say over on the radio once in a day (they listen). Your phone could/and will ring day and night with literally no heads up ordering you to work. Usually about 3 days a weak you will stumble into work with just a few hours sleep. Better be on your toes with no sleep because 30 days off without pay constantly. It’s insane! I’m not exaggerating. They want you to work unsafe very quickly or you will have management in your face screaming from the 100’s of cameras that are constantly watching you. When you are in your many investigations the union can’t do much but take it to arbitration. So the company decides how much time you get. Their is no discussing it. Arbitration is unusually backed up from 1-3 years in the future. Old union but unfortunately very weak. In the mean time guys have lost everything, some including their families. Very very sad place to work. Most are stuck being in their 40’s or 50’s with not much for other possible career moves or skills that transfer. Everyone’s fearful and understands that today could be your last. You will have to listen to people complaining and negativity ALL day long. It really sucks! Oh they usually only can work 10 hours witch is straight time and then get cut off before any OT can be made. Contract is terrible and you will be away from home for 6 days with just 48 hours off. Then you come home exhausted. You have to sleep - literally no time off. I was very blessed to get out and find a different career path in transportation. I, even including most management there, despise this company!
