Pros
None really, this is a punch-in/punch-out type company to work for (so I guess not having to work more that the required 40 hours can be seen as a pro so many). Apathy is a common trait seen across all employees.
Cons
AmTrust acquired a company I was with and offered most of us positions. Same pay, worse benefits (less coverage for higher premiums) and a severe cut to vacation days. There was also a pay freeze with our former company that AmTrust is carrying on with us meaning that it has been 2 years without raises for us workers (despite the fact that public transit costs continue to rise every 6 months and most of us take public transit to work). After 6 months of acquiring us, they have yet to give us back simple things that the former company cut to save money: forks/spoons/knives in cafeteria, hand soap in cafeteria/breakroom, offering professional development classes, fixing broken microwaves in the building. HR is difficult to research. You receive an automatic reply that they get asked a lot of questions so they may not have time to answer you. You need to ask your manager to contact them in order to ask a simply question. They also have you clock in and then out whenever you are at your desk (instead of the trust based system of logging your hours). There is overall very little trust between the company and its employees. There is no chance for career growth or development as they seem to hire all levels of management from outside the company.
