Pros
Cutting edge of Lean transformation.
Cons
Regular job cut backs. Even with good performance rating you can be asked to step back to a director position or terminated.
Advice to Management
Quit letting the rumors rule the house. When you decide to make cuts, just a ounce it and the process you will use to decide who gets let go.

Pros
Peers are intelligent and cream of the crop employees. Other pros include now being able to work from home one day/week.
Cons
Dishonest upper leadership. UP cares more about Wall Street than their own employees who have dedicated their whole careers to serve. They recently cut their training program for college grads and everyone now feels extremely replaceable due to layoffs. Employee engagement from middle management and below is at a low, yet upper managers keep saying it will get better (more layoffs coming next year).
Advice to Management
One job of management is to get operating ratio down. They will accomplish this no matter what disaster they leave in their path. Go back to the ideals that made people proud to work for this company a short 4 years ago.

Pros
I work with some great people.
Cons
Management has a major disconnect from the agreement employees. It's all about profit, but this place wastes more money than anywhere else I've ever been.
Advice to Management
The people on the floor, actually doing the work, and the crews out on the rail, are the ones who are paying your salary. Without us, you guys would have nothing. We aren't a liability, or an unnecessary expense. We keep this place running.
