      Pros

      Amazing career good union and amazing brotherhood

      Cons

      Management is non experienced in railroading themselves. They care more about corporate profits than employee safety and look to scapegoat their wrong decisions on the knowledgeable experienced lifelong railroaders. It's sad and pathetic

      Pros

      Flexible hours - depending on your supervisor. More holidays and PTA than most. Railpass for you and your family. Entry salaries WERE very competitive. Railroad Retirement. We use to have a lot more Pros, but they keep taking benefits away little by little. The word on the street is the Union side of Amtrak is still a good place to be, yet their contracts are being renewed and will probably get all of the cuts as well.

      Cons

      This is NOT the government company that everyone use to know and rave about to work for; times have changed. Very repetitive daily tasks. Upper management does not really seem to care about anyone underneath them. Benefits have been slashed significantly. Healthcare is horrible now. No more management pension. Bonuses are a joke and are given to favorites if they are even given out, but they are also based on CSI scores that we have not control over. Executive managers still get crazy large bonuses regardless. HIGH TURNOVER RATE for newer employers (hired within the past 10 years) due to upper management not making it easy for employees to stay. Amtrak seems to cater to transient employees now. Always layoff threats due to the governments instability and views about the railroad. There is not even money for parking reimbursement right now. i can keep going....very hard to be promoted within.
