AmTrust Financial Reviews

Pros

AmTrust is a fast growing company that fosters collaboration and professional development. All of the managers and executives I have worked with have been helpful and they do not micromanage their employees. AmTrust has a wonderful work-life balance and the company culture as an entrepreneurial spirit that is infectious. If you want to work for a young, fast-growing company that will give you pathways to success, I would highly recommend.

Advice to Management

Continue to give your employees opportunities for growth and the company will continue to grow.

Pros

The work environment and benefits are great with the company. Coworkers are awesome and the company really takes care of their employees.

Pros

Room for growth. If you show initiative and have a great attitude you'll go far. AmTrust prefers to promote from within.

Work from home opportunities. Management is pretty flexible with your schedule.

Lack of structure. I listed this as a perk because this allows you to get your hands in multiple departments and try new things without the typical blockades set up in a more formal work environment.

Tons of time off. PTO starts out at 18 days a year plus 11 paid holidays!

Cool perks like standing desks and a very relaxed summer dress code (you can wear shorts).

Advice to Management

While you have regular interaction with your leadership team, don't forget to sit down with lower level employees. They're the heart and soul of your department.

Pros

Growing company involved in several lines of business.

Pros

Benefits, travel re-imbursement, and flexible. Pay is decent, with raises, bonuses, and overtime. I'm finally being paid appropriately for what I love doing

Pros

Good PTO. Small improvements seems like huge achievements to them. My department was fairly flexible on time. The dual monitors are nice.

Advice to Management

Start caring just a little about the workers

Pros

A great company to work for.

Pros

-Flexible schedule
-Nice amount of PTO
-Managers don’t manage their people
-Some great people
-Free leather notebook for better reviews(not specifically glassdoor but others)
-decent benefits
-ok pay, well now. They are trying to standardize everything because the same group could have $20k difference for the same title. Until recently EVERYONE had the same title, whether you were a tester, BA, or PM.
-plenty of floors to hide on and not actually work
-free crappy coffee and tea, and no expectation of cleaning up after yourself in the kitchens
- Healthcare Clinic is very convenient

Advice to Management

-You need to restructure your groups to a military style – 4-5 team members report to a team lead, 2 team leads report to a supervisor, 4 or 5 supervisors report to a manager.
-Stop being afraid of people whom have different ideas or might have more experience then you. If you hire smart people you won’t have to manage the operations because they will positively change it themselves.
-Create a department of culture under HR to find out what people really want, and then listen and change
-Cost of Living increases are completely different then a performance increases.
-Positions should have a salary range predetermined. If you currently only make $40K but find a position that should start at $65K and are offered the position then there shouldn’t be a special review to see if you deserve the salary. People are leaving the company doubling their salary, why not keep that knowledge in house and decrease the terrible attrition rate.

Pros

The benefits are good.

Advice to Management

Still poor management. More than the CFO should be let go.

Pros

Paid parking, benefits, over-time (if you like that), great downtown location. Very relaxed atmosphere, and great people to work with daily.
