Pros

Good people to work with and compensation was satisfactory. Disappointed in communication between managers and Omaha and Omaha's overall knowledge of employee direction. The responsibility its amazing and allows you to develop as a manager quickly.

Cons

Long hours and little vacation. The growth/direction of the company doesn't really seem to want to retain employees. Discouraged educational advancement.

Demanding But With Rewards

Pros

A strong company with a solid business model. Current management is very competent and has made significant improvements to employee relations, but still has a long way to go. Pay and benefits are very good.

Cons

Work schedules and demands are extremely tough and there does not seem to be any relief in sight to this condition. Consideration for work and family life balance is paid lip service, but rarely considered in actual practice. The UP demands 100% employee commitment to its priorities.
