      Pros

      Pay was very good with Benefits to match

      Cons

      They will drop you as soon as they bring you in. They do not value the employees and only view the bottom line as the defining factor.

      Pros

      This used to be an exceptional job. Railroad jobs in general are trending down. Wages are down and healthcare costs have shot up. Expected to work 2nd or third shift with no added compensation. Will need 20+ years before you can be on first shift with either a Saturday or Sunday off. Want them both off on first shift? You’ll have to wait 25 years. Current management philosophy is screw the workers and give everything to stockholders. UP got 6 billion in taxes back, made 1.6 billion in the third quarter alone ( a new record), stock returns were up 43% and they laid off workers that they offered hiring bonuses to a year ago. If you can stomach working outdoors 70-80% of the time, not see your family and don’t mind shift work, railroad retirement is pretty good.

      I would give 3 or 4 negative stars if I could.... This used to be an exceptional job. Railroad jobs in general are trending down. Wages are down and healthcare costs have shot up.

      Pros

      Descent wages, great retirement benefits.

      Cons

      Recent changes make it very difficult to advance in your career. They are cutting jobs every 6 months to a year-employee morale is terrible. Wall Street higher priority than employees and customers.
