working for CN rail vs CP?

I'm finishing up a railway conductor course at the moment, and I've been lucky enough to get a job offer from both companies. Has anyone ever worked for either of these companies? Or know someone that has? Any info is appreciated

    As a retired Brakeman I often get rides on freight trains. By far the most complaints I hear are from CN Train Crews. Almost everyone complains about Terminal Delay and Run Throughs. A lot of them complain about their trains being under powered. If I were you I would go with CP.

    CP! I know 3 CN Brakeman, CN is absolutely horrible. They don't treat anyone Nicely. They are absolutely Corrupt it seemed like from a Story I had recently heard. They actually promote Railfan Harrasment, and so much other bad Crap, especially around Illinois, I'm not sure about where you're located but I would rather choose CP, much, much better.
