communication is not their strong suit, nor is inclusivity. - Journeyman Carman Amtrak Employee Review

Pros

plenty of *butt* time, and a lot of the work is enjoyable. and there is a big feeling of pride when you're away from work and you see the train you just worked speeding past you.

Cons

however, many of the people you interface with are bad communicators. they expect you to read their mind, and treat you rudely when that doesnt work. this extends up into management especially. definitely a fairly conservative environment as well. seemed like for several roles they only hired men. in a related note, the cleaner jobs were disproportionately occupied by women. as well, I heard stories of transphobic events taking place there. and I personally experienced many uncomfortable stares when it would come up in conversation that I was gay.

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 The pay is fairly well but after union dues in medical and taxes are withdrawn your net income makes it look like you are making at least 15 to 17 an hr.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