Pros
* Good people who really do want to do right thing * HQ is a great location * Worklife balance - there is literally no need / incentive to work past 5 pm * Good place to work if you are train nerd (you know who you are...)
Cons
* Because of the railroad retirement system, people are inclined to stay longer resulting in a lack of "sought after" talent in the administration side * Since it is a government org, most big decisions are driven more by politics than data. Coming from the management consulting world, I could not handle that * Stale "old" environment A friend of mine said it best - a C-level role at Amtrak is the equivalent of a manager role anywhere else
