Pros

The people here are really lovely and there is a strong team spirit in the Bracknell centre. Senior management are approchable, friendly and professional, especially the head of centre who is the biggest living legend known to man. There are great support networks and a lot of processes so once you learn your role it's easy to do and follow the process. They make an effort to recognise hard work and strong performance and be fair to everyone. There are global opportunities they always open up to everyone and it's possible to try your hand at something new if you want to. Flexible working policies also great. By far the best job I've ever had in terms of employee satisfaction.

Cons

The pay is not overly competitive in the RPO market and promotion opportunities can take a while to emerge which can be frustrating but pay is the only reason I'd ever want to leave. Sometimes there is a very heavy emphasis on process which is difficult for some people to adjust to but when you're working with high volumes it can be very necessary

Pros

Work-life balance was good. UK AMS is the best.

Cons

Everything. Anything you do that has something to do with Cleveland GCSC will set you up for failure. Management doesn't care, they will make promises and then act like that promise was never made. I cannot believe the politics that go on in the Americas AMS. Completely disappointed.

Pros

I spent a long time with the business and in the main thoroughly enjoyed my time there. They have a great portfolio of clients and some really good people who are great to work with and very passionate about what they do. AMS is a great business with some very talented people who love the clients they deal with and the opportunity given, truly inspiring.

Cons

There are too many people at management level & above who are moved sideways when the correct decision would be to get rid. This has a negative effect operationally as the 'engine room' end up with the same dreadful managers being passed from account to account only to make the same mistakes again and cause frustration amongst those who only want someone who cares as they do
