Pros

Money is better than most places but you are going to work and stress yourself into a early grave to get it.

Cons

Evil human beings make it to high positions. If you are a terrible person or a complete moron you would make a great UP manager.

Pros

Pay and benefits were good. Co-workers are hard working, awesome people.

Cons

Everyone in management is looking to fire everyone for any reason. The company eliminated breakmen from most trains and wants to eliminate conductors to make one man crews. They short manpower to make record profits.

Pros

Reasonable pay when you can get it. Good benefits until they cut them again. Great coworkers in agreement positions.

Cons

No job security. No income security. Constantly finds ways to abuse or reneg on contractual obligations while hiding behind a byzantine arbitration rules. Multibillion dollar profits are exclusively for shareholders, cuts are routine and contract negotiations are terrifyingly hostile to labor. Non-existent work-life balance. Work rules can change daily and are created and enforced by people who don't understand the work it governs. Overly punitive management practices are often rewarded. Upper management is squeezing the company to death trying to achieve a 55% operating ratio.
