Pros

Pay is fantastic. 24 years old making almost $80k/year + bonuses.

Cons

As I was a manager (MYO), Upper management is very incompetent, does not care about your "time off" or life. If you are an "A-hole" then you are fit for this job. I have respect for the people that worked for me (conductors and engineers) in Denver, CO and the feeling was mutual. I saved the company millions of dollars, worked 70+ hrs a WEEK, all during the night time, and they decided to fire me for no apparent reason. They don't listen to me, they don't care about me. I'm the "nice guy" type or personality, hard working, very dedicated.......but the company doesn't care.

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.
