Pros

Performance is recognized and rewarded. Teams collaborate in a productive and professional manner mostly. Pay is very good. Benefits are good. Some work locations are fairly nice.

Cons

Amtrak lost most of its best upper management with early retirement offered during workforce reduction during the pandemic. The people brought onboard to replace that management were not experienced in the industry and weren’t a good fit. Lots of bad policies resulted.

Your work location is based off of seniority. You must bid where you want to go within your seniority district. You may end up commuting up to 2 hours to get to work

Cons

They send you to school in Lancaster Pennsylvania to become a maintainer. A hotel is provided while you attend. There are 4 mods and on job experience in between each mod.
