Pros

The pay was good and I loved my coworkers!

Cons

Talk about the scum of the earth as far as upper echelon leadership! I can’t believe, in my wildest dreams, they think it’s ok to treat people like such garbage! They lie to the public and district them with the “Big Boy” to direct their attention away from the slimy things they’re doing to their employees. Heavy impact on small communities by closing shops. Not giving employees the opportunity to use their seniority to follow their work. “Furloughs” are actually just mass firings.

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.
