Work/Life is way out of whack, and this is far from my first job, I know what real work/life balance is.
There has been zero upward mobility on my team since I've been here, even though we do have different ranks. Also our job titles no longer make any sense, the job has changed completely (mainly for the better) since I started. Raises (especially in San Diego) basically amount to a pay cut. Has anyone looked at the skyrocketing rents in this town (I'm a native) and asked if they can at least give a merit raise that would be actually rewarding instead of bordering on insulting? when my rent goes up by $100 a month every year and my raise amounts to around $60-80 a month you can see where I'm going. It leads to a feeling that despite the other recognition given, what really counts is what you're paid, and for all our extremely hard work and time away from our children, we should expect more for our efforts, if AMN expects more from us. Wages for my position in San Diego are already within the bottom 10% of the median for this job. I started here as a temp contractor and make less now after 2 raises than I did when I started.
Team members (at least on my team) have minimal time with their direct managers, who spend most of every day running from one meeting to the next and very little time actually managing us, except when someone screws up, even if that is less than 1% of the time. There are TMs who could really benefit from some managerial guidance to be better and more efficient at their job, since there traditionally has been virtually no training for this position. When we have questions we need answers and we need them as quickly as possible to best help our customers.
