Pros

Decent starting salary and benefits right out of college Supportive teams and the work culture is pretty good The fact that it is a rotational program (this has potential, however it can end up being a con because you have very little say and flexibility when it comes to rotation placement)

Cons

You have no say in rotation placement Program doesn’t really seem structured and there’s no clarity as to how development is measured Can sometimes give “intern” vibe

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 The pay is fairly well but after union dues in medical and taxes are withdrawn your net income makes it look like you are making at least 15 to 17 an hr.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