Pros

Retirement if you make it Medical insurance.

Cons

Morale is a dumpster fire and the ego maniac CEO is oblivious to the pulse of the company. Every employee from crafts up to management is constantly on edge and worried about our job. The people who are left after the layoffs we've had so far feel trapped by the retirement and benefits. From the looks of it those look to be going away during future negotiations. No sick pay and strict vacation scheduling policies Nobody I work with would reccomend union pacific to a friend or family. Stay away until the Fritz era is over. They speak highly of safety but have been relaxing safety minded rules to increase efficiency. 5 fatalities in the past year. I can keep going but you get the point by now.

Pros

No experience needed, decent pay. Some ok people.

Starting low seniority will have you moved all around the state potentially. Managers actively try to get you fired in some cases.
