Pros

Flexible working. The opportunity to move client accounts internally after 12 months.

Cons

Inoperable technology which affects basic communication tools that recruiters should have I.e. video technology. Typically working on a global remit and no video conferencing facilities and just via individual laptops. Due to all of the above the only tool to manage and interact with your team is via telephone. Very disruptive US based recruiters who lack respect for their european counterparts who aren’t willing to partner with other teams.

Pros

Paid time off is great for your first year (more then most companies offer) Co workers are great and fun to work with for the most part

Cons

Where do I start... •Management is absolutely terrible. They will throw you under the bus in a second to save their own butts. Managers are never doing any work and are on their personal phones most of the time. Most managers micro manage and will stand over your shoulder or ask you what you are doing every second of the day. •Training is HORRIBLE. They claim they prepare their workers for new systems/new clients but they do not. You get about 2 days of training until you are thrown into a completely new system. Things are constantly changing with new systems, which necessarily isn’t a bad thing, but lower level teams are never told. Communication is terrible and they leave you to figure it out on your own. This can cost you because you are dinged for every small error you make. •Most teams are understaffed and they won’t hire/bring a temp on to help which results in you and other workers drowning in work and putting in a bunch of overtime each week. They say it isn’t forced but they guilt trip you into working the overtime (without helping you) so they don’t look bad. Managers/other leaders will take credit for your work/idea if you don’t have it clearly defined/documented. You are doing the same work as someone who has the same amount of experience but is getting paid about 6 or 7 thousand more. They will do/say anything to justify why you don’t deserve a certain pay or raise. There are quarterly bonus’s that are paid based on performance but no salary increases based on performance which is horrible. •I referred multiple people that got to the final round interview and AMS never got back to them even when the person followed up 2 or 3 times. That just makes the company and myself look bad. I never referred anyone after that. This should tell you how terrible of a company AMS is Do yourself a huge favor and look elsewhere for jobs. The pay and stuff you have to go through isn’t worth your time!!
