Pros
The above-average hourly pay is what attracted me to them. The hiring process was seemingly laid back, kind of like a family owned business. I later found out that this was actually indicative of the overarching unprofessional atmosphere that is maintained.
I worked at a smaller location, which was a nice change from the larger hospitals I worked in previously, but this would later be a con...
Cons
...because they do NOT staff appropriately. Not even safely. Regardless of their written policy, they will constantly under staff and even call of nurses scheduled in order to save on labor costs. Nurses would frequently call in or walk out for the day to avoid being assigned an unsafe number of patients, often whom will have critical needs. The shift assignments would frequently place nurses in a position to perform subpar and risk their licenses.
As mentioned before, the insurance options offered are laughable. You are likely automatically out-of-network once you sign up and the premiums are ridiculous (even by current standards.)
We had a revolving door of COOs and other upper management during my tenure with AMG. Each one tried to cut costs one way or another. One location in Oklahoma City is suffering multiple lawsuits due to having only one crash cart available and multiple patients crashing. Which, I guess that's more fiscally profitable than AMG's Edmond location which, after a long period of being blacklisted by the Feds, shut down just the past Autumn. I know several employees that were there. They say the writing on the wall all the way and assumed they would ride our their time their and receive a severance when the doors shut. They found out slowly that AMG began terminating employees that had tenure enough to receive a severance, hired new employees in the meantime, and then shut the hospital down. I know at least a couple of former employees there were also stabbed in the back by management by having unbased claims reported to the Board of Nursing. They are still fighting that costly battle.
Employees were often quick-trained and placed in supervisory roles that they didn't have sufficient skills for. A possible active threat occurred at one location and the supervisor threatened all on staff to remain quiet and to not call or report the situation to company management or law enforcement
