Pros

A paycheck, come home every night, down town

Cons

Amtrak on cares about the northeast corridor and Train Directors. The signal department in Chicago IL. Only hire men and say they are no female qualified applicants, but they will hire 60 year old men. Not saying I’m discriminating age but railroad retirement is 65years old. There was once a female who interviewed she had construction experience and young but I could tell the supervisors where intimidated about her confidence. There is one female worker who works here but she’s been here almost 30 years and they refuse to hire another women until she has left because they said she won’t get alone with another women, meanwhile I shared a locker room with over ten guys a shift. Supervisors are micro manage instead of creating a healthy working environment. Try speaking up for yourself you will be retaliate on (try proving that)

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 The pay is fairly well but after union dues in medical and taxes are withdrawn your net income makes it look like you are making at least 15 to 17 an hr.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