Pros

Very stable company and a PENSION. Probably one of the best companies to work for if you intend to settle down and have a family. Lots of room to grow, as many in the railroad industry are retiring.

Cons

Raises, bonuses, and promotions are too political. Depending on the department, you may do more work than someone else, but get a much lower raise and bonus. If you are thinking about applying in the IT department, don't do it. Union Pacific sees any IT employee as a second class citizen to their other departments.
