Bad place for new hires

Pros

Great pay for the availability, better benefits than most employers

Cons

New hires get little to no actual training before getting marked up. You're thrown to the wolves WAY too soon. They claim they focus on safety, but when managers test, they show little help instead of writing someone up for the slightest thing. Managers are supposedly required to have as many failed testing events as they have in the past. The new CEO has shown us in his past role, he cares little about employees, yet cares more about saving money, I stead of MAKING money, or even spending money on anything related to our actual goal, which should be gaining more customers and moving freight. VERY poor work life balance, PEB states we are to have a better "schedule", but CEO is fighting the unions to keep us working our butts off, day in and day out. He's only worried about how much less of a bonus he gets at the end of the quarter.

Pros

Benefits are better than most companies

Cons

Bad bosses, constant restructuring of organizations and cutting jobs, field employees are upset, everyone is on edge, and almost all promotions are to people who actually don’t have good work products, they just make others look bad. You cannot get promoted anymore, all management tiers are getting cut out of the company to save money.

Pros

The money is decent, retirement is decent. Those are the only two things that keep most people working for UP.

Cons

Work hours change all the time, days off will not be good until you have 8+ years in. The company is always looking for ways to get rid of people. I’ve seen it.
