Easy job; poor management

Pros

you get to do multiple jobs for the price of one

Cons

All the positive reviews are from people who drank the punch and are "highly encouraged" to share how wonderful of a place it is to work. Yes there are opportunities to advance in the workplace but only if you want to wait indefinitely or suck up to management. People are only working there as a stepping stone for the next job.

Pros

I’d say remote capabilities, but depends on a manger too. Pre Covid - AMS had great employee engagement. Lots of opportunities to connect during work and outside of work. They made you believe they actually cared about the employees. Post Covid - not so much. First holiday party with the company pre Covid was like a ball. The first one post Covid was at a pizza shop. They said managers didn’t want a big party….. Can gain experience in a few different areas if you’re lucky to move around. Entry level welcomed. If you have a well grounded manager with emotional intelligence, you can have a pleasant experience. You might enjoy it. ( depends on manager)

Cons

Lowball salaries. Very small increases. Your manager makes or breaks your success. There’s not much hope for moving up unless you’re a favorite. Some managers are hateful. They will fire permanent roles over contractors to spite you. Or hire new contractors full time over contractors who have already been there out of spite. They’ll tell you, you can advance and they’re dedicated to your advancement, but most higher positions are held by middle aged or older. Doesn’t seem like it’s changing soon at all. Very outdated fear tactic managerial styles. Micromanaging, inferiority, ego stroking. Etc. You may hate your life. I cried a lot. Never ever join offers on MS if you don’t listen to anything else. Got a friend hired. They quit in less than a month. You become conditioned to the terrible circumstances.

Pros

- Great PTO plan - Flexibility to work remotely

Cons

- Extremely poor leadership. AMS is having a very difficult time attracting talent in the US as they are a UK based company. Because of this they are prompting children into roles that they are not remotely qualified for or are hiring " diversity candidates" with a banking backgrounds. If you walk in the door and you are a female with an exotic name and you have worked at Key Bank I think you will have an offer to start withing 10 minutes of starting the interview. - High School Politics- Its almost hard to describe unless you have been there. The culture at AMS is very clicky and its all about " who you know ". It is very common to see upper management favoring employees and even to the point of some of them taking selfies at the bar and posting to social media sites. - Poor Business Model- Because AMS cannot recruit talented recruiters nor keep ones within the organization they have resorted to hiring " foundation " employees. This is a way for them to hire 20 year olds for near sweat shop labor salaries and jump them from account to account while they buy time to figure out how to run a company.
