Union Pacific Railroad Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Is a really good company to work for. Generally treats employees well and provides good benefits. There are always issues with a company this size, and Union Pacific is no exception. But its still a company I would consider working my entire career at."

"Good work life balance. Love it"

"When i hired on in 2004, this was a great place to work , good benefits, ok pay , but starting in 2017 company profits became more important than the people. Began furloughing/laying off, people by the hundreds, At the same time announcing record profits quarterly, in 2018 hired a lot of new mechanics, for the La Basin , and less than 6 mouth later lay them all off, these where people with families that quit jobs to come work for Union Pacific, in 2020, lay off 500 supervisor, destroyed a union all in the name of profits."

"Overall it’s been pretty good"

"Out of all three railroads I’ve worked for this one would’ve stuck."

"Union Pacific is going through reductions in employee numbers, as well as on equipment, infrastructure, and other cost savings measures in order to provide bonuses to the top executives. While the shareholders currently love it, it is not sustainable, and will end poorly. With 4 generations at UP, including some of the top executive positions, I believe this will have dire consequences for the communities served by rail."

"I have worked at UP for over 5 years."
