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
Union Pacific is building America, the heartbeat of our economy, transporting everything critical to the high quality of life we enjoy in America. I love going to work for a company where the work is so meaningful. I also love the opportunities to work in different departments and several roles. Tons of developmental opportunities. Even with current workforce reductions, the market is driving this and the company will rebound for another successful 150 years.
Cons
Like most large corporations, decision making can take some time but I'm seeing the company become more and more nimble and it's exciting.
Advice to Management
With all of the changes, we need to revisit our employee value proposition to help the organization recover and rediscover the reason they love working for Union Pacific.

Pros
BENEFITS, trip rates, experience, opportunities
Cons
Management(exceeding FRA expectations on testing)as a way to "thin the herd", yard work easy to get fired in, time it takes to get established
Advice to Management
Monitor and help, not waste your time with drones and switch flag tests, to critical guys up and look for the smallest ways to fire people. Also those new guys with orange hats, managers shouldnt be seeing that like sharks with blood in the water, and think those are targets. That's a training opportunity, not a MAPS or a "coaching". Let the guys work, do their jobs, without having to worry about you coming by to fire them.

High caliper, driven and professional conservative work environment.

Largely focused on the bottom dollar and share holders, not employees or safety. Actions do speak louder than words.
