Pros
Good pay, benefits, travel and other perks.
Cons
While I sit here about to lose my home, my car, my pets, my savings and in desperate need of medical, dental and even food. I think its important that people know what really goes on at a mangers level. The abuse of power, the constant bullying, the daily threats, can make someone physically ill. Amtrak's toxic work environment usually begins at the Superintendant level and works its way down to managers, supervisors, either through negligence or lack of character and integrity, usually stemming from a naive discounting of the importance of how employees are treated. What I have witnessed over the years about managers. Widespread anger and frustration Workplace bullying from managers/supervisors takes place daily Scapegoats are always written up blamed for something they did not do Dysfunctional relationships with their employees Obvious hypocrisy Nepotism Overly restrictive systems Incompetent supervisors & managers Writes up employees for everything to use at a later date. ...and the list goes on.
