Canadian Pacific Railway Employee Reviews for Senior Buyer

What do you like about working at Canadian Pacific Railway?

"I was able (through my own actions) to learn ALL of the aspects of how a railroad operates, cross function all the departments, employees who performed those duties, and understand how a company really operates. It was a GREAT learning experience."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Know that if you start at an early age, that this is going to be your profession all your life until you retire, otherwise, your benefits when you retire, that the Carrot dangling in front of you will not be attained. You must stay until retirement, (if you live that long) in order to reap the benefits you have put in all that time."

What don't you like about working at Canadian Pacific Railway?

"There are some talented people that worked for the railroad, however, if they didn't know someone, or a relative of someone, who was upper management, or deserved a promotion, they would not get it. The promotion would go to a relative of someone within the organization. Too Bad."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Give the promotions to people who have worked hard and deserve the promotion, and that would make the railroad operate better and larger profits. Instead they put people in positions, that are not experienced in the tasks at hand, just that they know someone higher up."
