      Amtrak is still a "work in progress" even after 30+ years.

      Pros

      I have worked at Amtrak for over 17 years and have found a niche where I was able to develop skills to meet a need.

      Cons

      Amtrak consists of many tenured individuals who propagate the mentality of seniority over merit. This is largely because most senior management started from within the Union ranks. May individuals who occupy positions of importance are either there because of tenure and politics or for placating the needs of a diversity initiative. Amtrak is still in a phase of growth and realizing its own importance in the overall scheme of public transportation.

      Amtrak is a good employer, but not a great company.

      Pros

      Amtrak has solid job security and a great benefits and retirement package. Plus the growth opportunities for passenger rail are huge as Americans are becoming put off by driving and flying.

      Cons

      Lots of decisions are made for political reasons because of all the government funding. There's also a ton of beauracracy that makes things slow and difficult.
