Pros

I have worked in CWS in Bracknell for over 3 years and in that time I have witnessed a huge amount of change and I have to say it is all very positive! I have read a number of the negative comments posted about Bracknell over the last year and I must admit that I find them untrue and extremely unfair! I would not usually write on a site like this but I think that there needs to be a fair review from someone that has progressed here! AMS offer huge amounts of opportunity to ALL staff who want to progress and this is something that is made very clear from the start. As with all companies, those who put themselves forward, work hard and have the RIGHT ATTITUDE are offered progression and opportunity. This is something that I have experienced first hand and have seen across CWS. The management community positively encourage it and want people to progress and be fulfilled in their roles. The client base is varied, giving you so much exposure, with the ability to move internally if you want. The atmosphere within CWS Bracknell is absolutely buzzing the majority of the time, with a positive, and refreshingly, enthusiastic team. Onsite teams that have visited me have often commented on the buzz that Bracknell has! The results that CWS churn out month after month are a reflection of this and I would question anyone who did not think this was the case. There is a lot of work that has gone in to getting the teams working cohesively over the last few years and this is really apparent across the centre. From my experience I have always felt supported and if there has ever been any issues I feel that my questions have been answered and issues resolved quickly and processes changed to help the recruiters and managers do their jobs effectively. I have always thought that my managers here are strong role models, who behave in a way that they expect the teams too, with a positive and 'can do' mentality. I have recommended several people to work here and will continue to do so! I hope that people do not take much notice of the negative comments posted, in my experience those people who have such opinions have not helped themselves and tend to have very little self awareness (and tend to be motivated by bitterness rather than balance).

Cons

Struggling to find negatives but the only thing that I would say is that historically communication across the whole of the centre has not been as great as it could have been but this has improved massively over the last year. As mentioned, it is really clear that a lot of work has gone into bringing CWS and RPO together and this is really showing now.

Pros

I have been working with AMS for a total of 11 years, and I can honestly say, I love working for AMS. AMS really promotes internal promotion and is passionate about promoting staff through the ranks. I first joined the company as an Administrator, and am now managing a large team in the Bracknell office so am proof that what you put into your career, you really do get out. There are many opportunities to progress. One of the things, that I like the most about AMS, is the fact we run an apprenticeship program each year, here we give not only something back to the local community, but we also give people an opportunity to work for a great company, and train the individuals up in many different area's providing them with key skills and an NVQ at the end of the academy. Once these people have achieved the NVQ, we retain this talent, and these individuals, go onto be very successful Sourcers / Recruiters. AMS has an excellent training facility and is very passionate that all staff take advantage of the courses, that are on offer to enhance personal development as well as on the job training. AMS also has a large number of clients, I personally feel passionately about each of our clients and I like the opportunity I get to work with these clients on daily basis. The satisfaction you get upon placing a candidate within a well-known brand / company is also a great feeling, as on a daily basis we are helping people. The office offers a great work life balance, offers great holiday allowance, and good benefits as well. I have recommended a number of people to AMS, majority of which have been successful. Whilst selling them the role initially, I am sure they had some doubts, that AMS couldn’t be as good as I described it, however I regularly get told by them now, that I was right and they too made the right career move by joining AMS.

Cons

I am trying to think of a con, here but struggling so on that basis, if I have to think to hard, there really cant be anything, or this would come as easily as the pros.

Pros

I've worked at Alexander Mann Solutions for 3 and half years, and have had extensive opportunities for progression, and personal growth. The leadership team take time to listen to feedback and work with individuals to support the acheivement of end goals. Good work/life balance, where hard work is widely recognised. Employees have access to extensive training and development courses - and can therefore drive their own careers. The organsisation, and managment team, set clear expectations, and structure - whilst ensuring you have the day to day automony to deliver within your role.

Cons

I've genuinely had a very positive experience throughout my career - completely different to working in a recruitment agency - the key driver here is ensuring good customer service, not sales.
