I like the company, job and my coworkers. I don't see much of a future at UP past this role however due to the down sizing and it seems Sr. staff isn't receptive to how much work the rest of the staff has picked up. This years compensation packages will determine if I'm here next year.

We have the potential to be great, but can't staff appropriately and drive people away from our business due to being over worked and stressed, sacrificing valuable experience in a VERY difficult business. Our mistakes are cyclical because we don't retain experience or have a training program.

It could be a great company, but I still feel our value to the railroad is only to feed revenue and groom leadership, so we run thin and have limited resources.

Our ability to have fun in stressful times.

Our ability to have fun and bond together.

The pension is the most competitive benefit in compensation.

The retirement plan, provided by UP is above average.

They're willing to explore any solutions to improve the business.

We can discuss challenges together and make changes when necessary.

We have freedom to make decisions to improve the business.

I think it's fair, but I don't think anything fantastic stands out.

Solving problems quickly buy trying new ideas and implementing strategies. Freedom to lead.

The freedom and flexibility to run our teams and try new approach's to solve problems.

We all understand these jobs aren't for everyone and can find common ground with the amount stress we face.

The new stock purchase plan highlights the companies openness to remain competitive and enables employees to invest in their own work products.

We're flexible and all support the needs of the business. We have the flexibility needed to try new things to improve the business.

Trust and confidence to run our business and make tough decisions swiftly allowing us to react to the marketplace and manage our teams effectively.

The trust leadership has in their teams to make effective decisions without a drawn out approval process or time consuming business cases justifying every decision.

We work hard, but we play hard. We take food days, happy hours and random events seriously. We openly challenge each other when need as well as celebrate wins. We keep each other moving.

The responsibility of moving JIT shipments across a network. New challenges keep the work interesting and the freedom to work at home if needed or in the office if needed. Flexibility has tremendous value for me.

Workload balance and job expectations are not equal across the Loup subs. Autos operations is by far a much more demanding position that needs to be staffed more or with higher pay. No one wants to stay in the group.

The teams are understaff for the evolving workload. We bring on more business and the supply chains get tighter with constricting per diem and ramp dwell metrics with no additional help to mange our increasing costs. We cannot continue to support business needs without resources.

The teams are not staffed appropriately for the workload and it's not realized that it directly impacts the bottom line. We're focused on reducing head count, but important tasks are sacrificed because of it. Sr staff doesn't understand the workload front line workers that saves money.
