Pros

Work-life balance and great co-workers.

Cons

At Amtrak, the lack of direction became a recurring challenge due to frequent leadership changes. Every two years, new leadership would come in with a fresh vision, often completely redefining priorities and strategies. These constant shifts in direction created a cycle where progress was repeatedly disrupted, leaving teams without a stable foundation or clear objectives to work toward. The only consistent factor was the absence of consistency, making it difficult to build momentum or foster long-term growth.
