Pros

There are so many great things about working at AmTrust. The Cleveland location is within walking distance to the best parts of downtown including restaurants, parks, Progressive Field, the lake, bars and concert venues. The vibe of the office feels like you’re working at a startup. I have the flexibility to, for the most part, make my own schedule and set my own deadlines while balancing my free time. Awesome PTO & full benefits which is a nice change of pace from my last job. My managers and co-workers are nice, fun and personable. I'm excited to be at a company that has plenty of room for growth and matches your skillset to what you want to be doing in the long run.

Cons

It can be intimidating at first and sometimes stressful or scary to work in an entrepreneurial environment but once you get the hang of it, you won't want to go back to a regular work/life culture.

Decent pay but broken organizational structure (IT)

Pros

Pay is decent. Great work life balance.

Cons

-There are very few well-though out processes at Amtrust. -Too few mid-level managers that are managing too many product teams. --Most of mid-level management is populated by programmers who are under-resourced and are just moving from one fire to the other. --There is no vision regarding what direction a product should go, bugs repeatedly reappear, and developers are left to fend for themselves as mid-level management has no bandwidth to institute training, process, or direction on how to solve basic problems. -Most tasks could easily be automated if well-thought out processes existed. It kind of saps morale when one realizes ones talents are needlessly being devoted to unnecessary repetitive tasks. -The organizational structure of the company outside my department (and even to a degree inside my department) is a mystery to me.
