To be clear, CN is a good paying job, not a good job. They basicly lie to potential employees in order to lure skilled labour. In their screening sessions, they present themselves as one big happy "family" and tell future employees how they were selected because they were the "best of the best," which couldn't be further from the truth. Union/management relations are terrible and they will hire anyone who can spell their own name. In the car shop, everyone talks about the top dog like he's the boogeyman. Safety is nothing more than letterhead unless someone actually gets hurt; in event of an accident, they do everything in their power to crucify the victim. The equipment is archaic and ergonomics are terrible. One of the five core values CN tries to indoctrinate their employees with is "Asset Utilization," which essentially means, as one of their assets, you will be utilized until you are no longer of any use to them and then cast aside like any other broken tool. Production through intimidation, quantity over quality and profit before people are the only true "values" CN seems to have.
