Positive atmosphere but is a growing company , 100% remote

Cons

Salary not competitive, Benefits not competitive and expensive, a large team of direct reports, HR with limited functions to support managers, emphasis on Project "Manager" of people with a ton of HR related headaches that account for 90% of a typical work day; Constant staff turnover, can involve 50% or more travel depending on the project, work/life balance is hit or miss, favoritism, lack of real diversity, no support from leadership, no 401K match, no bonus, no annual merit increase

Thank you for your feedback on the positive atmosphere, and the candid and tangible observations and feelings you've shared to help constantly improve AM. The HR Function has just added a team member that will focus entirely on compensation and benefits to ensure that we continue to offer wages that are consistently in the top percentiles for the position. We will be sure to relay the concern of employee management listed with the team of Human Resource Business Partners that are deployed across the agency and available to Project Managers. As a provider of services, managing colleagues as resources to deliver work will always be a part of project management in this environment. As you've mentioned certified project managers, this closely aligns with the components of 'People, Process and Environment' as a part of the Project Management Professional (PMP) curriculum. Many of the areas you've identified as concerns with the position are objective, and are listed in positions as they are posted for recruitment, and we will continue to try and set that expectation at hiring through the continued inclusion in interviews and job offer documentation and letters. I am disappointed to hear of situations you've observed that don't align with our expectations on leadership and accountability. We will continue to solicit feedback and make changes to improve those areas, as constant improvement is an organizational goal. If you'd like to discuss anything in particular or further, please reach out to hrsupport@amllc as we value input. Thank you, and best wishes.
