Pros

Decent pay and decent benefits. Other employees looking out for each other.

Cons

Literally everything else. I have been employed here for 2 years on the TE&Y side. 75% of the people I hired out with either got fired or quit within their first 2 months out of training. This place will take all of your time away from your family. There are serious problems with management trying to fire you over some ridiculous rule that is hidden deep in a rule book. Plus management is HIGHLY incompetent and seem to be snakes, the good ones never seem to stay. I have missed most of the important days in my life such as birthdays and major holidays due to work. I am in a constant state of feeling tired but not being able to sleep due to being on call and going to work around huge machines while tired is HIGHLY DANGEROUS and management couldn’t care less as long as you are making numbers. I personally looked past all of the negative reviews about this place before taking the job, but looking back now I should have taken the hint and not hired out. I wouldn’t recommend any of my close family or friends working here even after asking me if UP was hiring. I only recommend this job to my enemies! But seriously, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS JOB.
