Pros

Good pay and medical benefits for family. Can lay off when I need to

Cons

Managers always testing and company always trying to take money out of your pocket. Will not pay valid claims because timekeeping was told to just "not pay" them

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