Pros

The pay and benefits are great but are constantly being taken away with every next contract.

Cons

No work life balance at all. You are told once you work for Union Pacific they own you. Shifts and days off constantly change with little or no notice. They try to fire you every chance they get after being hired. Constant waves of lay offs keep you on edge. Never know if your going to come into work and be walked off the property because you were furloughed.
