Pros

Very Good benefits along with compensation if you work enough. Great retirement package if you also do very well working. Can make alot of money but it does have it's draw backs.

Cons

Long work days and no set schedule. It operates 365/24/7 so deal with it. Not the job if you want holidays off and important events off. Not for those that can't deal with no having a schedule or balancing life around your work.

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.
