Pros

Re-org of company within the last year or two. Seems like they’re working towards a system that makes more sense for all the new projects starting soon. Competitive salary and Geo-pay depending where you work. Leniency with working hours (if you’re an early riser or if you prefer to start a bit later).

Cons

Some friction between departments/higher ups makes things a bit more difficult. Some older management employees are stubborn on shifting to the new culture of work. Some departments know more than others about certain things going on throughout the corridor. Makes for awkward encounters.

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 The pay is fairly well but after union dues in medical and taxes are withdrawn your net income makes it look like you are making at least 15 to 17 an hr.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