Pros

The company pays very well. One of the best retirement plans in the country. Company is very stable and won't be going anywhere. UP invests a lot of time and $$$ into all employees, especially managers, in terms of training and development. There is plenty of room for advancement, but you will have to move.

Cons

Extremely long hours for field managers. Work-life balance is almost non-existent unless you work in a corporate position. Dealing with the Unions. Highly stressful environment.
