      Pros

      The pay is good, and you can always count on overtime. Most people if they wanted to could 16+ hours of OT a week

      Cons

      Its like working with a bunch of 3RD graders People are always looking to do less work than they really have to. If you work hard, you are frowned upon. Management doesnt listen to the employees about things that we need to complete jobs. Management only hires their friends, and no matter what degree you have, you will never be good enough. If your in it for the money, good,otherwise.......STAY AWAY!!! I would say that only 5-10% of the employees hired have a degree higher than an associates from a KNOWN and Accredited college.

      Unionization has intoxicated operational profitability.

      Pros

      Pay and benefits are above industry standard for a high school educated position. Pass probation and you've got a job pretty much forever, should you want it, or them you. Retirement is good, but you pay into it with a higher payroll tax than non railroad employment.

      Cons

      Ambition is not a requirement to succeed there. As long as you just do the little you are required to do, and don't try to do more than anybody else to prove yourself, you'll be fine and not be seen as a nonconformer (and suffer from that). Don't "rock the boat" (train) with innovative suggestions that might require change from the status "stagnant" quo. Management makes very little effort to appreciate a subordinates work, and is not interested in anything but the status quo...even though officially the company has never operated at a profit level. Why should it, its taxpayer subsidized.

      Pros

      The pay is the best in town, weekends off, overtime allows great extra earning potential

      Cons

      some of the "lead" clerks are on a power trip and speak down to you, not a reflection of the company AMTRAK, just some intolerable people here
