Pros

Worked with some of these best co-workers in my life.

Cons

The management system at up is so brainwashed to believe in this new system that they no longer care about employees. I knew guys with 15 plus years on the job that were laid off without hardly any notice. Now the remaining employees are run ragged. So bad several are quitting leaving behind the retirement they have paid just to get away.

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.
