Pros

Good focus on career plans, options to move within the firm and good management

Cons

Can sometimes feel a bit corporate and too large to feel like an important cog.

Pros

They work with well known blue chip organisations. Excellent benefits package Excellent work life balance

Cons

There is little reward for hard work and success in the service center in Bracknell. I did not find it an inspiring place to work. It felt like I was back at School at times and I was not treated like an adult. Most of the managers should not be managers or should be given a significant amount of training before starting the positions. It is too SLA driven and there is more interest in reporting and filling out spreadsheets than building a relationship with the client and finding the best candidate. The relationship with the suppliers or agencys does not seem to be that good either. The Bracknell office is over crowded and I would recommend a move to larger premises. The Bracknell office is not well managed and needs to have a more grown up approach to it and some respect shown to the employees. They also need to have a database or CRM, not a different system depending on the client. It was very frustrating when trying to source/recruit a role and I was astonished that the company does not have a central database for candidates like in an agency environment. I agree with some earlier comments about "bums on seats" approach.

Many thanks for your feedback. As the recently appointed Head of Centre in Bracknell I have set up a number of projects led by team members themselves that focus on wellbeing, development, technology and communication which have been initiated to enhance the working environment. I believe we are making some positive steps in all of these areas and I'd be keen to showcase these to you, and also hear some more detailed feedback from you if you are happy to share further. I can be contacted via jeff.owen@alexmann.com

Pros

Good compensation for entry level Great PTO Some good coworkers

Cons

Training is almost no existent, more of a big picture perspective Cares way too much about the client and doesn't know when to put their foot down to say no Employees a burnt out because AMS isn't able to say no and the workload is just too much No real supervision from managers, which results in uneven distribution of work Employees complain, but they are just sweep under the rug Great turnover rates because there is no room for growth The higher ups play favoritism and those who stay for 2+ years are treated like unicorns
