Pros

Remote option for corporate employees, not overly micromanaged, very good coworkers.

Cons

Pay is horrible. It’s not optional to contribute to pension plan so thousands will come out of every check. You do not get to cash out on that pension until you have worked for a railroad company for 30 years or until 55 so if you leave, all that money goes to waste. Mass layoffs are extremely unpredictable. Very little room for growth.

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 The pay is fairly well but after union dues in medical and taxes are withdrawn your net income makes it look like you are making at least 15 to 17 an hr.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