Union Pacific Employee Reviews about "pay and benefits"

Pros

Great pay and benefits. Great amenities if you work in Omaha, such as the parking garage with an attached tunnel, pharmacy, gym, healthcare facility, cafeteria, and credit union. Don't believe what you read bout the CEO. He's actually a good guy who is just doing his job. He's got some snakes in his garden.

Cons

Bullying, gossiping and cronyism are rampant in Omaha headquarters. Managing your personal reputation is about 50% of your job. That kind of culture is exhausting and leaches away energy that could be better applied to doing great work. Integrity is almost discouraged and considered naive.

Pros

Pay and benefits Interesting people to work with

Cons

24/7/365 work environment so you'll normally work a lot of unusual hours with odd days off. Very little to no regard for employees' safety, well-being, physical/mental health. Usually a lot of hostility, workplace bullying, unrealistic expectations, failing equipment. The pay and benefits are nice but only because they're union-negotiated benefits. You have to really decide if the lifestyle, sacrifices, and toxic work environment are truly worth it.

Pros

Good Pay and Benefits. Get to meet a lot of good people

Cons

Schedule is unpredictable, working nights weekends and holidays is common.

Pros

Pay and benefits are amazing

Cons

On call 24/7/365 with no guaranteed days off. Rotating schedule actually means you can work all 3 shifts in one week. Not knowing your schedule for the next week til Friday evening and then it can change daily in spite of that. Rapidly adding responsibilities to dispatchers at such a pace that they can't do the job well and then holding them to unattainable standards

Pros

Good pay and benefits for todays market.

Cons

Always trying to swindle you out of the money they agreed to pay by contract

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, good co workers

Cons

Some jobs require you to be on call, low seniority leaves you uncertain during layoffs

Pros

Decent Pay and benefits. Great Retirement thru railroad retirement if you can keep your job long enough. Lots of money making opportunities. Little to no supervision.

Cons

Terrible communication. Incredibly unprofessional leadership in the middle management area. Horrible attendance policy. Management constantly whittles away the good benefits that make it worth staying with the company. Terrible information about potential work events (Line-ups). Horrible management culture that refuses to change itself.

Pros

Good pay and benefits and good time off in construction

Cons

Maintenance is on call 24/7 unless there are multiple maintainers then they rotate weekends

Cons

Travel, little home life, changing work location.

Cons

Bad management. Other than that great company
