Pros

Full time associates are far more prevalent than consultants. Employees work long-term for the company (30 - 40 years in many cases). Good benefits and perks, railroad retirement is coveted. Excellent culture and values. World class colleagues.

Cons

Some politics but nothing more or less than other large American corporations. Headquartered in Omaha, NE - OK to raise a family but not the most existing city in the U.S.

Pros

Protected by strong labor unions, well compensated (see below), excellent healthcare and wellness, and loads of other discounts and benefits. The railroad is going through a renaissance, and should provide a long term profession that you can retire from.

Cons

Many TE&Y jobs are on call 24 hour a day, and 7 days a week. There are no regular off days or holidays. The employer can be rather draconian in regards to employees taking non compensated days off. The pay does not seem to have kept up with rising cost of living expenses. In light of what is required of us we should be making 100K plus. UP's management style is iron fisted, and out of touch. This occupation works outside in all weather conditions.
