Pros

Got to travel. Great benefits and retirement. Great coworkers exist but most aren't. Relatively good salary.

Cons

Lack of upper management support. Company takes forever to implement changes. Never felt my job is secure. Company always going through a major reorg. Huge infighting between departments, corporate versus local. Very lazy union employees. Not rewarded for extra effort or completing a task in an above average way Employees at management level constantly backstabbing and gossiping. Management by committee. Company is afraid to change Finally, the product....meaning the train experience itself is below average. The customers are charged quite a bit of money and most are dissapointed.

Pros

Great friends and Travel with plenty to see

Cons

The culture is horrible it’s a very demeaning please. They will fire you for anything. Harassment amongst employees and by management to their employees Is extremely high. I have a MBA degree and I still can not move above the customer service level. I’m a union member and you have to pay union dues to work a non management position. The union Reps work for Amtrak to so there is a conflict of interest. The union is TCU in which they defend the company 100x harder than they do their members. TCU is not organized very well. The pay is fairly well but after union dues in medical and taxes are withdrawn your net income makes it look like you are making at least 15 to 17 an hr. As far as Work culture at Amtrak it is fueled by many rumors and those rumors are more affluent then your resume .
