      Will learn a lot, but absolutely awful work environment with burnout guaranteed

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Lot of opportunities to learn, but you will be expected to work weekends, holidays, with zero comp time or respect for work-life balance.

      Cons

      Amtrak is luck of the draw with regards to management. If you're lucky, you'll get a manager who will, at bare minimum, ask you what is going on when someone escalates over your head. In general, they do not, and you're lucky if you go one week without someone escalating to not your immediate boss, but your boss' boss. Amtrak is one of the most toxic work cultures if you get a manager who throws you to the wolves, and most do. Beware the bait and switch when talking to a manager, as you will not find out what really goes on here. If you feel confident, contact one of the people who interviewed you --NON MANAGEMENT -- to get a feel for what you're walking into to. Come here to get technical experience and, if you can make it, stay 5 years for the Railroad Retirement, then leave. Trust me.
