Pros

I worked with a lot of amazing field crew employees which is one of the reasons I stayed so long.

Cons

Where to start.. First of all, the pay was horrible. Middle and upper Management made their own rules, and never followed policy or state regs. Don't even get me started on HR. They are by far the worst out of all management! Most of them are Micromanaging and inconsistent with their field crews. Especially HR. When it came to DHS visits, they would stock the trucks to pass inspection and pull items from the trucks when they left. The trucks were always breaking down, most of the time leaving crew members stranded. One of the few "benefits" RM offered are new uniforms for the crews. Pricing was always inconsistent and marked up, and consistently changed to cover "other" costs. There is so much MORE to list! I just don't have a whole lot of time to waste anymore energy on this company, other than to sit back and watch it get shut down for shady business practices. Oh, and one last thing.. Thank God AMR was finally able to get their CON!! Maybe that will humble this company just a little bit.

Pros

Straightforward with their expectations of you leading up and going into the academy.

Cons

There is no room for error. If you’re not in good physical condition and think you’ll improve while in the academy you’re wrong. You need to already be in good shape or they will run you ragged for it. It’s either you’re ready or you’re not and if you’re not then they will make it as miserable as possible to test you and either you quit or they fire you.
