Pros

decent pay for no degree. best day of my life was last day at Amtrak. unfortunate it has the potential to be an outstanding company that could crush privately owned competitors and take back what they stole from Amtrak. Oakland Amtrak has the largest untapped potential of any local transportation agency.

Cons

many good workers carrying the load for craft frauds and most of management defies reason. they have a sue us then attitude. Management strategy is if they dont hate you you arent doing your job right. HR is a joke and support this mindset of management? oh, who appointed you again? safety is accomplished with smoke and mirrors. Management will screw you and say its for the operation. dont buy into the lie see something say something = blacklisted for life

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 The pay is fairly well but after union dues in medical and taxes are withdrawn your net income makes it look like you are making at least 15 to 17 an hr.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