Pros

The absolute only reason someone should consider working at this dictatorship company is Railroad Retirement benefits. Working at the UP will certainly make you appreciate other companies that have a sincere appreciation for their employees.....unlike the UP’s management.

Cons

After 20+ years of working in this toxic armpit of a railroad, the list of ‘cons’ is far too long to list. The CEO, Fritz, is only out for himself. He’s paving the road to a political career after ruining one of the best railroads in the world. He’s a money & power hungry to an extreme. He has no respect for the boots on the ground employees who COULD make this company great.

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.
