      Redundancies and unfair treatment

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Remote working and flexible hours

      Cons

      Constant redundancies. No progression. If you are remote, you will be forgotten. They will promote someone who never had recruitment experience prior instead of promoting someone who had experience before and was longer at AMS. They will be giving you excuses such as “they are academy, they don’t get much pay rise” which is not true. The truth is, they are in the office whereas I am fully remote who can’t go into the Belfast office every week. Constantly feeding you that promotion is on its way but then putting you at risk of redundancy. If you are sick or have doctors appointment they will ask you to use your annual leave instead of putting as a sick day.

      Many thanks for taking the time to post a review. It is disappointing to read your thoughts regarding the departure of colleagues owing to the economic climate we, and the industry as whole, have been operating in and the subsequent softening in client hiring volumes we’ve experienced on some accounts. We've been working hard to minimize the impact this is having on our colleagues, and we managed to re-deploy over 400 talented individuals last year. We are dedicated to ensuring our top talent is retained where possible. In terms of your reference to sick leave, please feel free to contact me, confidentially, on this point as we have clear policies and procedures to accommodate leave requests. I can be reached on Stephanie.Gillingham@weareams.com. Kind regards, Steph – Global Head of HR Partnering.
