Pros
Can get an entry level position with virtually no prior experience
Cons
This is my second review for this company - I found the downturn in respect and appreciation for employees over the past two years SO alarming that I just had to submit a second review! I’ve been with the company for almost 4 years and it’s become quite apparent that their tolerance for tenure caps out at about 3 years, at which point you become too expensive for the company. Being in a client services industry, it is completely reasonable that the company values meeting the needs of their clients very highly; however, AMLRS does this at the cost of the well being of their employees. You are just a body to them when they need a certain number of FTEs to satisfy client demand. They will also “request” that you work unpaid overtime, and then threaten you with corrective action when you can’t work a full 8 hour Saturday with notice on Friday at noon. You can gain a lot of experience with different clients here, because you will be moved from project to project at the drop of a hat. You will have no say in where you would like to be placed or what workflows you would like to be a part of: tenure, hard work, and loyalty be dammed! One engagement was so terrible and “ate up” employees so quickly that it became an inside joke with the managers that investigators go there to quit/leave AMLRS. Rather than trying to fix the problem (that they are clearly well aware of), management would rather grind through all of their talented and tenured employees to try and satisfy highly unreasonable client demands. Conversations with management are also feeble. And when you take your grievances to HR, they will tell you to have a conversation with your managers. As other reviews have mentioned, the company itself has seen immense growth over the past two years (acquisitions, etc.) and the CEO received a cushy $11 million bonus when the company sold, but the bottom line investigators saw ZERO benefits of this growth. Their end of year raises don’t even account for cost of living, if you’re lucky enough to receive a raise whatsoever. Seriously, it’s not uncommon to receive a 0-1% raise at end of year (seriously - run!!) Oh and the REALLY funny thing is the company sends out a weekly newsletter with shallow articles and stories about valuing diversity, mental health, and all that good stuff. In the worst way, it is just fluff. They do not care about your mental health & upper to middle management is incredibly white and incredibly male. The company did not use to be this way. The work and environment used to be incredibly flexible, which was a slight compensation for being underpaid. But recently it’s become clear that they’ve deemed micromanaging and crushing work loads to be the way. I’ve met some wonderful people working here but the bottom line is the company DOES NOT care about its employees and this is definitely not the place to come if you’re looking for a long term career, or you know, a place that doesn’t make you want to jump off a cliff. PS. Just know that any 5 star reviews from 2020 or more recent are fake lol
