Pros

Good company to work for and start your career. Lots of different positions and they promote from within often. Once you get to a craft abs your maxed out in pay there’s no where else to go unless you get in to management. You can definitely make more money elsewhere as a journeyman OT is becoming harder to come by but the work environment is not as demanding as it will be out there.

Cons

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 The pay is fairly well but after union dues in medical and taxes are withdrawn your net income makes it look like you are making at least 15 to 17 an hr.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