Pros

Once you complete your apprenticeship, you become a full fledge diesel mechanic, and your pay gets raised double while also having the ability to work overtime.

Cons

Work can be back-breaking and tedious. That position/job was meant for people who do not mind hard physical labor.

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.
