Business outlook
Pros
I have worked at Amtrak for over 17 years and have found a niche where I was able to develop skills to meet a need.
Cons
Amtrak consists of many tenured individuals who propagate the mentality of seniority over merit. This is largely because most senior management started from within the Union ranks. May individuals who occupy positions of importance are either there because of tenure and politics or for placating the needs of a diversity initiative. Amtrak is still in a phase of growth and realizing its own importance in the overall scheme of public transportation.
