Pros

The CEO's are hard working and inspiring to work for. Two stars for the CEO's

Cons

First off there is no communication between the crew of 4 that have come from Food lion in IT and new joiners. You have to beg for workload and if you do you are marginalized. They are not sympathetic or compassionate. I had two losses and I communicated that I wouldn't be able to make it to work via gmail which I'm sure the manager has an account with. Yet the next day They sat me down forced me to sign a disciplinary document which stated I'd be fired next time I didn't email the proper email account they completely ignored the fact that I had called in to let them know on the day of. There is a constant badgering of IMs you'll receive from other employees wondering if their job is at stake. Managment will ask you for suggestions on improving the process but will not take into account anything you say. They are outdated in their skill set thus there is a high turnover in IT and not to mention I've seen 10 people I worked with there in my new company 10! From sales to IT. The HR here is a cover up operation who presents an ideal image of the company while being an enforcer in firing people or disciplining them without reasonable context. She was upset I was late to a 401k meeting when I had an actual meeting for the job I was hired to do. All in all DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY!! If you seek longevity and growth in your skill set and not feel like you are working at an internment camp don't work here.

Pros

- Great office culture - Good people - I don't dread coming into work - New business consistently coming in AMT is a great place to work. The negative review from 06/28/2019 is far from the truth (AVOID! Complete Disaster ...). I personally worked next to the gentleman who wrote it. I've worked here for a year and a half, so I feel like I have a better understanding of how our office runs. He wasn't even here long enough to get through training. ( He only worked here for 3 weeks tops, Not a full 3 weeks, more like 2-3 days out those weeks, for about 3-6 hours on those days)( Mind you, everyone else comes in everyday and works 40 hours a week). I got a sense that he was trying to get over on management and HR. Once he couldn't get his inflated perks, he did what he could to get over on us and wrote that bad review which was full of hyperbole. Our HR Manager is AWESOME! She's Intelligent, a go getter and is willing to help anyone when they are in need. The Owners and Top Level Management are also good people as well. They are working hard and long hours to make sure we have a secure and thriving workplace. Just wanted to clarify a few things you guys.

Cons

Only Con - Newer software company with growing pains.

Pros

This place used to be a great place to work, they claimed they cherished values and families and it felt like a place to set your coffee cup down and work hard with a family environment.

Cons

They treat their employees as just worker bees, disposable and definitely not a part of the family. I saw people who did not work hard get promotions, while the ones who sacrificed time at home get the boot like it was personal. I would suggest if you work here, use it a a building block or training example of how companies should not treat their employees. They also don't tell you that if you put in notice you may get cut that day and insurance ends the same day. They also will make you wait to get your own personal property. I've seen people get fired on their birthday, so don't get too close with management.

We are sorry that there are hard feelings. Our goal is for every employee who leaves AMTdirect to do so with great memories and strengthened skills and experience. Our primary responsibility is to protect the interests of our customers, staff and company. We are generally happy to accept a notice period when an employee decides to pursue a new opportunity, but in some cases the right thing to do is to end the employment relationship right away. We wish nothing but the best for you and hope that you benefit from the experience and connections you gained while at AMTdirect.
