Pros

Amazing benefits, and a culture that encourages good ideas no matter the source. It also has a diverse set of initiatives at any given time that you can get involved in outside of just your core job.

Cons

It's a big company with a lot of layers. You need to politic quite a bit to make changes to the way things are done. I think this is true of any company this size.

Pros

There are several pros working for Union Pacific. Pros are the pay, union membership, and opportunities to travel

Cons

Cons are also Travel. The shift I am on you are supposed to be gone for eight d ays and home for six. But it actually translates into gone for 9 1/2 days by the time you include your travel days which put you only home for 4 to 4 1/2 days every 14 days.
