Good pay and experience with tough hours
Written by Management Trainee (Current Employee) from Winnipeg, MB on 19 September 2018
Pay and the benefits are good. The experience gained is priceless if you are looking to work in railway. The hours are hard and you will most likely be moving from hotel to hotel across Canada. CN does cover the hotel, food and car rental expense.
