I used to have bragging rights that I worked here. Honestly, not so much. Layoff, demotions, understaffed, unrealized potential, make it a hard sell. That hurts because I love UP and Loup. America needs us. Our culture is jaw dropping unhealthy political. We will sacrifice all to meet OR55

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

I love UP/Loup. I have/wear items and shirts at home. While Loup can strive to be the best - we are still dictated by UP. UP Execs say we are valued but actions prove otherwise. When we win - UP wins. I think bringing on Knight/Swift/Schneider will destroy MCP and close Wholesale.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

100% Honest -- I had bragging rights when I told my friends I started at UP/Loup. I do not have that anymore. We are just an avg company now. I came to UP/Loup with extensive experience but UP/Loup does not look at it good enough. There is talent that is not being utilized.

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

I love Loup. I like Intermodal. I feel we make a difference, I love my team. Turn over is too great. So many people come and go so we do not ever get that needed experience, I am concerned what Swift and Schneider will do to Loup. I am very concerned on the effectiveness of Alinea

Briefly describe your overall experience at your company

I like Loup. It is the best group in M&S. I do believe we work harder than any department in UP. People are going to leave because of they are going to be locked into a Sr Consultant or Mgr II. Loup needs to retain these folks as the amount of turn over is too great. No promotion ability

What is the best part about your compensation package?

The upcoming pension. The pension is HUGE.

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Pension is the best thing in our compensation package

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I believe Loup Leadership wants to help but UP ties their hands

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Team work. Everyone has a stake and everyone can elevate concerns.

What makes you most happy at work?

The ability to make a difference and the ability to "own it"

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The latitude to get my work done. It is not a micromanaged

What are some of the best things about your team?

My team in phenomenal. We interact during and after work. It is very healthy

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

My team is good. We want to succeed. We want to make the company profitable.

What are some of the best things about your team?

We laugh, joke, and even communicate after hours. It is one of the main reasons to stay

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

I do not think the UP is allowing us to succeed. If the UP wanted us to succeed we could

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

That is a loaded question. However, Loup and UP are creating a political culture the sounds healthy but it is not.

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I feel that the leadership is approachable. I feel they *want* to do the right thing. I feel that they have my back.

What are some of the best things about your team?

I love my team. It is a reason I have not left and applied elsewhere. We interact on and off duty.

What are some of the best things about your team?

My team is the reason why I stay. We interact on duty / off duty. Everyone looks out for each other.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

So many things that are not in the control of Loup. Pretty much UPRR stuff ...Service, price, claims, CC&S , ramp issues etc

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I can walk in and talk to my Leadership at any time. I know the field does not have that opportunity. My leadership has my back. But the UP does not allow Loup to grow.

What are some of the best things about your team?

Our team looks out for each other. We are fun. We interact off duty. It is very healthy. We include our leadership as it is not a "Us against them" scenario

What do you like best about the leadership team?

I believe my leadership has my back over the stories I have heard from others on the UP. Unfortunately they have to follow the guidelines of those at the UP M&S. I wish we could have a survey which address outside of Loup

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Pay. However, for the amount of work we do, we should be higher levels. Sales and Ops should have Mgr I. We have to wear many hats - IT, Finance, Ops, Sales, Pricing and we have to fight for every load.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

My job compared to the railroad same position does not carry the same level. One might argue that they have a larger book of business but how many of those loads are on autopilot? In Loup we work so much harder, we fight for every load and wear multiple hats to get the job done

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Loup should be an extension of UP - but it is not. We should be strategically aligned. We are just a customer to UP. We are given goals but not given the latitude to achieve them i.e. capacity and price. I would use accurate metrics, gates, and trains. When we win - UP wins.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Service is subpar. Gate issues We fail all the time. It affects the customers baseload and if they will be on MCD or Aggregate pricing. We are forced to use Alinea and it is not remotely ready. We do not have reports or financials. We are operating blindly.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I really do not believe we are paid inline with the rail. Loup works our tail off ... the rail may have a bigger book of business but many of those loads are on autopilot. Additionally UP had bragging rights in the local community. "Wow you work at UP?" Not any more. It is more "Sorry"
