What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Scheduling, planning, leading, listening and providing needed equipment.
Document injuries and pay medical bills.
We are people with families and need time off to see them. Shareholders are more important than employees. They can't find enough people to apply because it's not worth the benefits. I understand they need to make profit but at what expense? We are worn out and underpaid.
Realizing that we are all human beings with lives and families.
Managing, every day is a train wreck
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Retirement and medical benefits are nice
Health benefits and pay is good.
Health insurance and retirement benefits
Salaries a ok but based on omaha standards
Railroad retirement and the 401k match.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
More off time. More money. The last pay raise came after fighting with the company over 4 years basically the 20 something years we have just maybe are keeping up with economy. We need hazardous pay bonus and time off. If we get a raise the heath care changes increases
The Korn Ferry cuts & demotions demoralized most everyone while cutting future earning potential AND adding more work on the best and brightest that were already overworked. This is why many are leaving.
Negotiate a decent and fair contract instead of wanting to give pennies on the dollar if we are so valued
Haven't got a raise in 4 years. Cut off a third of the workforce and expect everyone to work harder and do multiple jobs.
Its been 3 years without an updated contract. We are expected to pay more out of pocket and the proposed wage increases are less than half of the projected inflation for this year alone. They are literally offering us a pay cut.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Many different skill sets and abilities.
People will help each other out.
The people I work with directly are all equally disgruntled, so we all have that in common.
Incredible endurance and pain tolerance.
Co workers look out for each other and dedicated while in a tough environment
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Everyone dislikes Union Pacific it is a very negative atmosphere
Quality, accuracy, and work ethic. But... what do you expect from people that have been beaten down to where they feel neither they, nor the work they perform is valued.
Terrible attitudes and low morale
Everyone has poor attitude because how up treat their employees, moral 100 % down always
Go on strike until work environment is better.
Review from Operations Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Good interaction lot of fun
Local, Omaha is a pathetic clueless bubble... tellingrgus to spare a nickle while they lay around in expensive desks and conplain about their five star cafeteria.
Going home for the day
People pitch in to help each other and the company
My teammates and I trust each other
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Trust in the management, treating direct reports with respect and an open discussion and feedback platform
Treat people like people. A little genuine honesty goes a long way.
reevaluate PSR. Look at the workload vs workforce and add back at least some of the staff that was cut. Reevaluate titles/levels. Most people are very bitter about working for decades to get where they were only to be knocked down 2-3 levels.
View and treat everyone as human and not a robot
New ceo who cares about people
What did you like most about the interview process?
Face to face interaction and feedback
Wuality of the interview questions and respect of time
At the time the interview process was open and honest. Company has gotten worse
Friendly and provided details what to expect on the job.
Being selected. Here are more words
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Have people in the craft trainers give input on hiring and training
Keeping employee privacy, with out reprecautions
Review from Engineering Dept
They are begging to hire people because of lousy wages
Stop lying, you hire to meet a qouta then do not protect your employees.
Never apply there in the beginning.
Review from Operations Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
The responses I receive from coworkers when I provide clarification or understanding on policy
Being paid for the work i do, trains
My co workers and local area.
Having a fast trip with interesting conversation
Paycheck and the benefits. Interacting with co workers
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I don't know and not sure
Stop catering to the shareholders and take care of your customers and workforce.
Transit. Derailments. Customer Commitments. Stop trying to fit square pegs in round holes. Not everything can be solved with PSR
Executives and company needs a make over on how they conduct business and how they treat employees
The only product is service. Our customers wait days, weeks, and even months for cars to be delivered. Their products are then delivered late to their own customers.
