Pros
Good pay and benefits with consistent work
Cons
Overworked, under staffed, the work is unappreciated
Advice to Management
Stop undercutting your staff and piling the responsibilities of those cut onto those still employed. Quit looking to cut first. Increase the moral and ethics by allowing people to have normal lives like rest days off and holidays. Strong arm tactics do not work. It creates resentment

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Union Pacific full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
If you get hired and keep away from furlough. The healthcare benefits are really hard to beat. Pay for the majority of the employees is above par.
Cons
There is too much expectation of their management team. The ration of field employees per manager is about 85:1. There could be more stock options for employees, bonuses, and trinkets to boost morale. Coaching employees is more along the lines of being a police officer, verse a coach to help learn and improve, it's about their numbers.
Advice to Management
Allow the employees to work, let them know when they are performing well, being safe, don't go to the field training handing out tickets and expecting to have good morale, good attitudes, and a sense of ownership when the employees are constantly feeling attacked. Keep employees around with experience and build off of them.
