Pros
Railroad Retirement and Harriman pension are the only real incentives to working for UP. But good look making it long enough to retire in such a toxic atmosphere.
Cons
The list is endless. Extremely long hours. Absolutely NO respect for your time off. You will be required to routinely answer emails, get on conference calls, and work on projects on your days off. You will be treated like slave labor. You will work in the most negative environment imaginable. And promotions are handed out not based on merit/ability, but based on who you know. If you are ethical and treat people well, you won't be promoted. If you are unethical and treat people like garbage, then you'll keep being promoted. Those are the kinds of people they want. You might think I'm exaggerating but trust me it's the truth. The CEO and EVPO have no clue how to make the company successful.
