Pros
Truthfully there are not many pros of working at Amtrak anymore. The CEO (Anderson) and CAO (Stadler) are slowly taking all the benefits away from the employees to increase their salaries/bonuses. The people that do the real work are no longer happy and internally the place is falling apart, as executive management is working to make the company more "efficient." However, the company is no longer effective. They will take their money and leave at some point while Amtrak is going to be left in a huge mess. That is the problem with bringing executives in out of retirement...very easy to cut much needed money from the budget and disappear after the damage is done saying look what I did and blame the problems on the next CEO. Oh, did I mention executive management will leave with full pockets for sitting at home and making bad decisions.
Cons
Too many to list. The only way I would ever suggest coming to Amtrak is if you have no other options. If so, use it as a stepping stone and get out fast.
