The job itself pays decently for the education required. The pension I hear is ok, if i ever make it that far. Aside from that, it's a horrible place to work. Managers are not chosen based on qualifications, therefore they often lack the skills necessary to operate efficiently. Most managers are treated like crap from other higher up managers. That leads the lower managers treating the unionized employees like crap. Most companies would treat their employees as assets, the opposite is true at CN. Unionized employees are simply used as excuses for every single thing that goes wrong at CN. Management sets impossible standards to attain, then blames the working man for the failure to reach the target. The only thing valuable to CN is their share price, everything else is expendable.

What's with all the 5-star ratings on this site for CN? Anyone who actually works here knows what a shithole it is. Must be HR posting all these two-line 5-star generic paragraphs, or there was a mass management e-mail that went out that stated everyone had to come to this site and post a 5-star rating, hence all the half-assed efforts from the 5-star paragraphs.
