Pros

A strong company with a solid business model. Current management is very competent and has made significant improvements to employee relations, but still has a long way to go. Pay and benefits are very good.

Cons

Work schedules and demands are extremely tough and there does not seem to be any relief in sight to this condition. Consideration for work and family life balance is paid lip service, but rarely considered in actual practice. The UP demands 100% employee commitment to its priorities.

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.
