Pros

The entire payday loan industry is under attack. Thankfully, AMG Services is probably not likely to last that much longer. Most of their revenue is gone; they're down to collections only.

Cons

Social Security Numbers are stored as plain text. No attempt at encryption is used. A disgruntled employee could easily walk away with tens of thousands of full names, addresses, phone numbers, and SSNs. Management doesn't even pretend to care. I've also heard third hand that AMG Services works with a third party company to install malware. Specifically, tracking software is installed on the boot sector of any computer used to apply for a loan through any of AMG's companies. This is done without the consent of the customer.

Pros

You can potentially earn a LOT of money. Overall pay is high compared to other companies of the type. Management is very knowledgeable of the job and offers great advice, always are very helpful and encouraging. They help you realize your full potential and are always trying to assist you in achieving it. Co-workers are typically very knowledgable as well. Employees are encouraged to work as a team and help each other out, as well as shine as an individual. Scheduling is very flexible. Overall pretty satisfied with the job so far.

Cons

As expected, the job itself is not for everyone, it's somewhat difficult to endure day to day. Customers can be incredibly difficult, and the environment is typically pretty stressful. Training was incredibly intense, and personally caused me to somewhat panic because I was always being told what I could do that would get me fired. The company is pretty strict about how the run their business, and management has no problem telling you that if you don't follow by the rules, you won't be there for very long.
