Pros

Nothing. Nothing positive to say about this organization.

Cons

PTO is terrible, benefits are awful. The culture is toxic. They will work you til death and the morale is lower than any company I have worked at. I would never recommend anyone working at Amtrak. They promote people based on who you know or how loud you talk, not how much value you bring to the organization. Amtrak needs to get out of the 1980s mindset in order to move forward, or no one will want to work for them in a few years.

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 The pay is fairly well but after union dues in medical and taxes are withdrawn your net income makes it look like you are making at least 15 to 17 an hr.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