Pros

Benefits are great but I'm sure that will change. As the unions have no power and Is being bought under the table.

Cons

Everything else, the management team has destroyed the company and blames the union employees for it's faults. However the unions have no real strength at all so how is this even possible? No sick leave no attachment to the employees at all anymore. If you have a family this job is not for you as they don't care about anything you may need adjusted to help you out.

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 The pay is fairly well but after union dues in medical and taxes are withdrawn your net income makes it look like you are making at least 15 to 17 an hr.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