Amtrak reviews

no credit given for work done, people push problems off onto each other. i wouldnt ride their trains for free.

Lifestyle is hard. You're always on call and on the road anywhere from 4-7 days a week, but that's typical for all railroads. What is especially shameful on Amtrak is the complete and utter incompetence of management, from the top levels down to the local supervisors. They have absolutely no vision for the future, and also no idea how to build employee morale. Negative feedback is the only feedback you'll get at Amtrak. Managers seem much more interested in keeping a low profile and keeping their jobs than actually improving the company and working conditions. They will outright reject any suggestions on how to make things better or even save the company money! Even though it's a job I personally love, I couldn't recommend working at Amtrak to any of my friends or family for any reason other than the money, and that's a pathetic reason to work anywhere and be treated as poorly as we are at Amtrak.
