Pros

Seriously, none that I can think of.

Cons

An awful place to work, low morale, dreary offices, outdated office equipment, a joke of an IT department, catty co-workers, lots of lazy lifers who just show up each day counting down to retirement. Compensation is a joke - forget about raises. It's got all the cons of working a government job - like low pay - but none of the perks.

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 The pay is fairly well but after union dues in medical and taxes are withdrawn your net income makes it look like you are making at least 15 to 17 an hr.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 .
