Pros

The commissions are high. Well outlined plan to close sales. Strategy for starting your own business.

Cons

The day starts with a professional dress meeting at 4:45 AM Monday through Saturday. After the meeting, if the restroom is already taken, you have to change into your work clothes in the parking lot. Then you load up the cars for an average hour long drive. Then you get to spend at least a ten hour shift at a gas station selling car wax and windshield repair to people getting their gas. Be prepared to spend all day talking to rude, annoyed, and irritable people with no promise of making any money. It is possible to make money, if you are willing to use aggressive sales tactics. AMW will actually teach you how to deceive and peer pressure customers into buying your products. The only was to make any real money is to be an unethical pushy salesman. When going on road trips, they promised that everyone would get paid hotel rooms to stay in. Don't believe them!!!! You will be staying in a single apartment with ten other individuals, all sleeping on the floor together. If you don't mind working outside a gas station six days a week then this is the job for you. I would equate it to working for less than minimum wage and working 90 hours a week. They will take anyone educated or not. They will literally pick people up off the street. One of the worst companies I have ever worked for...

Every company has some sort of morning meeting, just like ourselves. We do not promote unethical work practices, ever. It is our intention to always act in the best interest of our team members and our clients. We apologize if our career opportunities did not match your desire career goals and we understand that our industry is not for everyone. We do not take everyone who applies, we have an extensive interview process and many of our team members are graduates of excellent universities such as Penn State and University of La Verne.

Pros

Working at AMW was a life changing experience. My position prior was not assisting me in growing and developing. For what I was getting paid it wasn't worth the lack of development. My reason for joining AMW was because of how much opportunity for growth there is. I learned life skills like how to be comfortable with face to face communication and networking at the corporate meetings with the CEO and the Presidents of the company was an incredible experience. Hearing how they started off and grew from the bottom up really showed me how much I could accomplish.Being able to be in charge of what I make it why working here is so appealing. If you are a go-getter then the ability to make more is highly appealing, however, if you tend to be on the lazier side it may not be for you.

Cons

A con would be that I wanted there to be more promotions. They take their time in training you to ensure your success and that you are meeting their clients standards.

Pros

You constantly hear about most employees that dread going to their job because they do not enjoy it nor do they enjoy the people that they work with. In working with AMW for the last year I have enjoyed every moment. When you show up you are not only working for yourself, but you are working with like minded individuals that are goal-oriented and want more out of their life. In turn it makes everyone so much closer and creates a unity much like a family. There are so many skill sets that I have learned in my time with AMW. One of the main things that AMW has helped me with was building my confidence, and not just in the work place, but in my personal life as well. They have taught me how to package and present myself in all aspects of my life. Another thing that I learned that has helped me is my ability to read and relate to other people. When I first started the company I was EXTREMELY shy and they really helped me get out of my bubbly with a lot of hands on workshops and constant motivation, and that I am eternally grateful for. Working at AMW allows you to move at your own pace, whatever that may be, but it is ultimately up to you. Also being able to travel, I LOVE IT! So far I have traveled to Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Cancun, Dallas, Vegas, and many other places, and not just to work, but with people I enjoy being with!

Cons

More balance with personal life as well as the business side. Maybe creating a reward system when goals are hit such as a weekend destination trip with their family or significant other for a job well done. It would make team members focused and driven, and also incorporating why and who they work so hard for.
