Pros

Like other railroads UP offers good retirement benefits

Cons

All sorts of issues in IT department, from managers to AVPs the management is unable to focus on supporting the railroad instead spending all of its energy prompting and supporting favorites. Management is focusing on hiring more and more offshore contractors due to the fact that it cost a lot less ending up hiring five to ten times more offshore resources than needed which eventually cost a lot more. People are being moved around to make room for favorites instead of supporting the talented.
