Pros

Decent pay the 401k match is nice.

Cons

I worked there in multiple medium and senior management capacities over 6 years for the railroad. Favoritism, nepotism, corruption, federal embezelment its all there and they dont really try to hide it. Pay is average benifits are trash on the nonagreement side specially that the herriman pension is gone now. Growth is very limited antiquated management techniques and tools. They act like theyve grown past it but i guess you cant teach an old dog new tricks. The agreement people made it worth it an excellent bunch hope things get better for them.

Pros

There are several pros working for Union Pacific. Pros are the pay, union membership, and opportunities to travel

Cons

Cons are also Travel. The shift I am on you are supposed to be gone for eight d ays and home for six. But it actually translates into gone for 9 1/2 days by the time you include your travel days which put you only home for 4 to 4 1/2 days every 14 days.
