      Pros

      Pension and Railroad Retirement are great!

      Cons

      High Premiums. Over the years the company's focus went from operating like a railroad to more political culture and lack of employee recognition.

      The Pension and current benefits

      Pros

      You get a pension and if you stay longer than five-six years you’ll earn enough to rent or buy a place to stay in the cheaper parts of the state.

      Cons

      The company pays well for most states, but in California you will be living on an extremely tight budget and Union Pacific refuses to even consider the idea of a C.O.L.A. Despite the fact that many of it’s employees live out of their cars because they can’t afford to live a reasonable life compared to the cost of living and the managers say that it’s a good thing because that makes employees want to stay marked up and eager to work. Due to this we can’t convince anyone to stick around long enough to actually work, so they just hire anyone willing to apply and offer them basically zero training knowing they won’t be around more than a few months at most.
