Pros

High pay great benefits ability to work a set schedule or not if you chose ...a chance to be a part of a company that will be around for the foreseeable future

Cons

Lower level Management can be very unexperienced so they will push for impossible results and they will ride your back until it breaks if you let them

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.
