Sure its true about the quick job advancements at CN BUT the mgmt jobs eventually lead you to take stress leave. Its true about working ALL holidays, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. BUT only certain people with great stamina can work that much. Pay is a couple bucks above min. wage which is pitiful for this industry. The private sector pays better. Definitely no after work or social life to speak of. Would not recommend CN for people with young children, a social life, or ppl that slack off. I read a comment that suggested reducing the amount of hours, increasing the pay, and hiring more ppl could make a difference. Start putting ppl before profit and ppl will actually stick around.
They dot have to put people before profit per say. Profit will always be industries number one objective. Just don't make people the very last wich is what his company does, and eventually that will hurt their profit. When they can't find good people to carry out the work. I hope things change here, I think eventually they will slightly.
