Never Seen An Environment So Bad - Director Union Pacific Employee Review

Pros

Pay and bonuses are very competitive.

Cons

Work-life balance exist only in words. 4 workforce cuts in 5 years with probably a further 20% cut next year means we all will need to continue to do more. Greed is the only thing driving the cuts. UP is now focusing on executing the precision railroading playbook. It feels like the shareholders are the only constituents at the moment. UP is no longer investing in its employees or employee engagement. If you are not directly related to current revenues, chances are your job will be cut. Future strategy is a thing of the past.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Work is challenging.

Weak lower and middle management - they only care about their own careers. Poor morale. UP went down hill after Jim Young passed away.
