Pros

Benefits are great and they offer a program through Vitality where you can earn rewards for healthy activities. 18 days PTO and 11 company paid holidays. There are definitely some great people that work here, but it takes a while to figure out the ones to trust.

Cons

Nepotism runs rampant within this company. Bad behavior is rewarded by management and poor performers are promoted. Company seems financially unstable within the last year. Most employees are underpaid compared to local averages.

Pros

Great work/life balance, helpful management, friendly coworkers, great benefits. My position offers a great amount of independence and flexibility but still offers the perfect amount of support and encouragement to be successful. I have been with AmTrust for 5 weeks and am excited for many years to come!

Cons

Company offers free parking but the parking lot is 4 blocks away, I don't mind because it gets me on my feet. If you opt out of the free parking they will offer you a monthly stipend for you to choose a closer lot.

Pros

None-its a check . The ambiance of downtown is nice . We have three monitors in IT. Nothing else is great about the toxic place.

Cons

Health insurance is subpar, parking is expensive and there is no Tuition reimbursement and no training. Communication is poor on all levels of the organization. The work environment is toxic. HR is political and inexperienced and they support management . HR isn't an advocate of their people. There is no OPEN DOOR policy. If you report management for unethical behavior you will be targeted . The department I work in is a revolving door we have a manager who is a micromanager and who treats her employees bad and HR is aware but they cover up for her and this is well documented. So please HR don't comment at the bottom of my comment because HR isn't doing anything to make the workplace better. The moral is low there and there is no room for growth or advancement unless you are part of a click. I have never worked for a company where they hire supervisors from the outside to manage a tenured group and the supervisors have no insurance experience or IT experience and they don't know your job but try to critique you. If you report a manager HR will find a way to get rid of you. In my department atleast 20 people have been fired and others have quit. The systems we work in is outdated. Most employees you talk to are looking for a new job.
