Pros

There really are none anymore.

Cons

Terrible work schedules or lack there of. They don't pay claims they have signed and agreed to pay the employees. Layoffs constantly. No job security. The average life expectancy is very low from the long hours and no sleep. They treat their employees like they are in a nazi war camp. The harrassment is unbelievable. You can never take a day off or they fire you. Dreadful company to work for and just gets worse every year.

Weak lower and middle management - they only care about their own careers. Poor morale. UP went down hill after Jim Young passed away.
