Amtrak Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I worked at Amtrak for about an year. Over there I was mainly handling CAD drawings of an HVAC duct used in a GE P-42 locomotive. From the CAD drawings I also did some FEA on ANSYS to compare different ducts and how the air will flow through them."

"Good site for trade workers."

"Not sure what this has to do with my current application."

"Nothing to say about this company"

"It takes a very special person to be away from their families and live on the road."

"Good job for high school diploma applicants."

"If you are a 20 or 30-something year old white guy, this is the company for you. If you are a woman or person of color, you can get a job at Amtrak, but you are unlikely to get promoted, despite your effort. Only old white men can be CEOs. It is a hyper masculine environment. If you know this going in, then you'll be fine. If you are a young white guy, you have a very good chance of being hired and more importantly, promoted at Amtrak. Go for it."

"Interning as electrical engineer, while in school."

"This company is hot for the faint of heart. You have to be prepared to conform to work practices that would literally boggle your mind. The company has little value for it's employees, and there is no loyalty. Also, the term "employee morale" is completely lost on them."

"As a new employee at Amtrak, trying to understand the lay of the land can seem daunting. The railroad is like learning another language but they set you up for success with an intense classroom training program followed by extensive on the job training to translate your knowledge into skills. Many long term employees will help you out of a jam while those newer to the industry will share your frustrations on becoming fluent in the "railroad." Questions are never shied away from as there are many different ways to take proper action, depending on your own analytical problem-solving. You will always be supported by management, they will take your advice and let you do your job the best way that you know how, as long as you show them how you used your experience to inform your decisions."
