Pros

Pay used to be great.

Cons

Inaccurate boards causing dangerous situations with fatigued crews. On duty 2am today maybe 4pm the next day. Sleep patterns never occur. Quality of life is low. New attendance policy is punishing and disrespectful.

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.
