Pros

Great benefits and good pay. A lot of rules causing work to be overwhelming in beginning. A lot of room for growth

Cons

A lot of rules, corporate culture and political environment. Very little time off. Extra work is placed on you and if something goes wrong,it is your fault

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.
