Pros

If you're sick, lame, or lazy join the Amtrak team! If your a habitual drunkard or junkie...this is the place for you! If you think of workplace safety and regulatory compliance as merely nuisance window dressing to fool those rascally regulators then; ALL ABOARD! If you've helped run other publicly funded railroad into bankruptcy, become an Amtrak manager. If you're a bully who likes to threaten employees who dare to report safety concern, then there's a foreman position waiting for you! If none of this appeals to you; GO TO WORK FOR A REAL RAILROAD!

Cons

See the pros and then think twice because there is no satisfaction from being on welfare and the only difference between Amtrak and welfare is: at Amtrak you have to clock-in.
