Union Pacific reviews

It's big. While this does provide stability, it does not mean they are agile in meeting business needs. The complexity of having a diversified franchise also makes managing that network difficult. Growth opportunities: I work in information technologies. There are three career paths in IT. At a very high level there are job descriptions. There is no description / path / game plan of how to get from one position to the next. For performance tracking, Union Pacific uses a product called Total Performance Tracker (TPT). This allows only for your direct manager to give you feedback. This feedback is only provided two times per year. It would be much better to use a 360 type approach where your customers, peers, etc. all have the opportunity to provide you with feedback. Without good feedback, how is any employee expected to know what he or she is doing well, let alone focus on areas needing improvement.

Family time and time spent away from work. the hours are horrible and many guys and ladies wind up going through several divorces. there are quite a few mid level managers without any formal education and this causes resentment towards the new hires that come out of college. the college grads tend to find things very diffucult because all of the formal education has nothing to do with actual railroading and everything to do with dealing with people and finances. the managers tend to speak to each other in very harsh ways and this becomes quite unprofessional at times and makes very talented individuals consider other job opportunities.
