Pros

Little to no work. some consider that a pro but to me it was a con, company made me feel like a prisoner.

Cons

Where to start, all managers form a cult. They have no passion or compassion for their employees. No benefit or acknowledgement for good work. Literally go sit at your desk for 8 hours and pretend to look busy. Pay is not even close to competitive, they will hire anybody that is willing to take less money even if they are incompetent. They let the best, most capable, and qualified employees go because they don't show them they are appreciated. I will never recommend this company to any real IT professional. No opportunity to move up unless you brown nose management, and even then there is barely a chance.

NO growth

Pros

Meet some great Co workers and foot in the door.

Cons

NO growth at all and there is no financial compensation if you are doing Business Analyst work. No bonus and raises are laughable. No process management and no training at all. Nepotism is all around and the only way you are able to get a promotion.

Pros

No job objectives, so hard for anyone to argue that you have not met your performance objectives. Very easy to "hide in the weeds" - no real oversight to make sure you are being productive.

Cons

Believe all of the negative posts you read on this site about AmTrust. No onboarding training, per se. Many people in management roles that have no business managing people. Nepotism abounds. (Its all about who you know or are related to or sleeping with). The company grows through acquisitions. Unfortunately, they do not have solid processes and resources in place to sustain that growth for the long haul. Typically hire in via contract. Job titles do not always reflect job responsibilities. Everyone in my group was called "Testing Analyst" but more accurately, some were "Business Analysts" or "Project Managers". Pay rates are significantly below market. Like to hire the young and inexperienced (I guess they are easier to control and manipulate). Not a place to work if you have any legitimate career aspirations. Poor work environment...my first 2 months there, I sat in a different department (overcrowded on my floor) where people seemingly did not have much else to do other than tell stories, take long breaks/lunches, and spew profanities for all to hear.
