Business outlook
Pros
Amtrak employees are generally great, pay is reasonable, and the mission of providing passenger rail in the USA is important
Cons
Upper level management is disorganized, there are a lot of internal politics, and the C-suite is more concerned with complying with Trump than looking out for their employees. There are also very few opportunities for upward mobility. There as been an unofficial or official hiring freeze for almost a year and a half, and with the current admin, I can only imagine this getting worse. I would NOT recommend joining Amtrak if you value job security.
