Pros

Good benefits, pay and working conditions. Great comradery between coworkers.

Cons

Union protects lazy and disgruntle employees instead of taking care of legitimate issues and grievances. Bad work schedule that changes constantly until you get at least 10 years of seniority in order to obtain 1st shift with weekends off.

Pros

UP used to be a great company to work for It invests in employee training Decent benefits Promote worker's safety

Cons

The current leadership lacks any vision. It slashed hundreds of jobs because it cannot seem to adjust to changing market conditions. It furloughed a lot of people, and it felt more like a firing. Current CEO should be dismissed, because in 2009 when the economy tanked, UP was hiring under the now retired CEO Koralesky. Now, when the economy is booming, UP is closing shops and doing massive layoffs.
