Pros

The pay is outstanding! You get to travel via train and meet new and interesting people.

Cons

You will work for your money. Depending on your position, there are no hours of service. So they can have you working for 24hours if need be. They don't care about their employees and go back on their own policies just to satisfy the customer even if the customer is wrong. They repreman you for enforcing their own policies!

Pros

Benefits are good and retirement is better than social security.

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 The pay is fairly well but after union dues in medical and taxes are withdrawn your net income makes it look like you are making at least 15 to 17 an hr.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