Pros

Fellow workers are the best

Cons

No life. No stability. Company will lie, cheat and steal everything from you. You will quit or get laid off so it is not worth even hiring out. Management is best described as arrogant incompetence with casual abuse for all. NO FUTURE HERE. Complete melt down dumpster fire EVERY DAY.

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.
