Pros

Good work-life balance, a lot of PTO and holidays, friendly coworkers

Cons

Place falling a part, management doesn't know what they are doing and withhold knowledge to protect their jobs, so as an analyst i spend a lot of time finding out about problems late simple because manager didn't pass information to me or forgot to include me in an email distribution list or didn't extend the invite to the meeting. Company also has no employee training program, I am Certified Excel Expert with expertise in SQL, VBA, and Access as well; I tried to pass this knowledge to other employees but HR didn't want to set up training classes so other employee could learn from me. Company never sent me to any seminars or any kind of training, I almost had to blackmail my manager to send me to the 3 days long seminar with the threat of leaving the company all together. HR is also none existing, I worked for the company for over a year and didn't even get new employee orientation, It had to talk to 5 different employees to just find out where HR sits and how to reach them.

Great support during pandemic

Pros

AmTrust has really impressed me with the support they've offered during this pandemic. I haven't had to worry about coming to the office since we're allowed to work remotely. Management has been extremely flexible with the shifting schedules.

Cons

I wish merits / bonuses were more prevalent / available this year, but to be honest I can't expect an outflow of extra cash when the economy is so unstable. If anything, while it sucked that we didn't get any, it's almost reassuring to know AmTrust took a step back to reassess.

Pros

Great holiday schedule, that's it

Cons

This is the only company I've ever worked for where I feel like management is working against me. The standards remain so high yet they give you virtually no tools to succeed. The claims system feels like it is from the early 2000s. They just "upgraded" part of the system but it is actually worse than it was before. Management is completely out of touch with reality and employees are set up to fail. They recently furloughed many employees and the rest of us have caseloads at 160+. Despite that they push forward with ridiculous projects. We are constantly reminded that our activity is being monitored. Raises were canceled this year. Bonuses were a joke. Morale is incredibly low yet management says and does nothing. Most of us would leave if any other companies were hiring. Just an awful place to work.
