Pros

Excellent pay and benefits, working in a variety of places and doing something different everyday. Room for advancement and transfers to other fields and crafts.

Cons

Job is seniority based rather than performance the more time you put in the better it pays off. This is true for most companies however UP seems to over hire people consistently and this leads to a lot of furloughs. There is risk of working 6-8 months for your initial training and being furloughed for who knows how long. I've seen furloughs range from a few weeks up to three years. So my advice to potential employees is to have a backup plan incase you're furloughed. Other cons include irregular schedule, time off and having to work in poor weather
