Pros

Pay is decent if you can handle the absolute garbage management. No work life balance. The company is a propaganda machine for itself. Management will actively look for reasons to fire you daily. Pro. If you have no skill set' you can drink the cool aid at UP and get a decent retirement.

Cons

Training is garbage. Little to no opportunity for advancement unless you spend 20 years there. The leadership will tell you directly that the brass has no idea what there doing then turn around and act like friends. Management lacks fundamental morals to treat employees right. Will fire without cause. Plausible deniability are management favorite words. OSHA violations and non certified signers.

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.
