Pros

- Depending on your office leader, the occasional office event can be upscale and very enjoyable - If you don't like being micromanaged, this is the right kind of job. Most of the time, everyone around you is too busy to pay attention to your work. - Free snacks and drinks - Great Benefits

Cons

- It actually feels like a middle school at our office. People that hold high titles will spend a better part of their day gossiping behind closed doors. The Office Manager has this "wing-person/best friend" that will literally put her ear to the door of other people's meetings and report back to our branch manager with whatever information she can obtain about other employees. It's funny content for the show 'The Office', but it's disgusting to witness it in real life. - Your experience is almost entirely dependent on your team leader. This could be a pro, but for many, this is a major con. If you don't work for someone interested in growing others on their team, you will not go anywhere. - You're almost completely on your own starting Day 1. Hopefully you have a good teammate that will help you out the best they can. If not, good luck! - Pay is not good. I mean, it's not the worst, but you will often be the busiest person on the team if you are at the lowest position level. Given how hands-off AmWINS is, you are subject to whatever your superiors want to throw on you, regardless of whether or not it's in your job description. Don't fall into this trap of taking on too much responsibility. Everyone is a salesperson. They'll welcome any volunteers to take their work and will never look back to recognize you for it.

Pros

Reputable company overall. Great people and team members.

Cons

Working on the HR team often leaves employees feeling invisible, undervalued, and frustrated by leadership that is disconnected from the team’s day-to-day work. Management frequently lacks an understanding of employee workloads and challenges, resulting in unrealistic expectations and poor decision-making. Training and onboarding are inadequate, with many employees expected to perform at a high level without the proper guidance or support. Rather than being set up for success, employees are often left to figure things out on their own and are then held accountable for mistakes that could have been avoided with better training.
