Pluspunten

Decent PTO (some have more, some have less). There is very flexible working environment, and good people to work with. It is a good place to start and learn about recruitment. Good exposure to various accounts and industries.

Minpunten

There is a very big difference between the overall values of the company, and the ones that Cleveland upholds. In Cleveland, they're only wall decorations. This place is run by incompetent middle/upper micromanagement who are only interested in the bottom line, not the welfare or advancement of their employees. There are very few promotions a year, no raises and no bonuses, despite your hard work. Also, a large, LARGE number of people have left this place. But, management will not address it, and it is causing tension and uneasiness. In fact, employees are not allowed to talk about that, and those who put in their two weeks are SHUNNED by management. There is little support, and no accountability for managers who bring no value to the company or their teams. Other than approving PTO, they really take up space. Meanwhile, salaries are stagnant. There is NO transparency, and lots of whispering in the office. CSMs gamble with people's careers by not giving them heads up on changes in their accounts, selling employees on a "shared service" model that is a complete joke. In reality, you CANNOT be in charge of your career, because you are constantly redeployed into another crappy account, which means another onboarding process, and so on and so forth. Furthermore, team leads, with the exception of a very few, are being trained to continue this vicious cycle of a clique-based reward system. Where is HR in all this, you ask? This is a two-person operation, and they do NOTHING to regulate the lack of diversity and salary inequality. Unfortunately, AMS Cleveland is very far behind from their counterparts in the UK, in all aspects.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s great to hear our culture and the care we show for our people have made a positive impact. That sense of support and connection across teams is something we work hard to nurture every day. We also recognize that client relationships can be complex at times. Supporting our teams to navigate those environments with confidence and collaboration remains an important focus for us. We appreciate your feedback and your contribution to AMS.

Pluspunten

Flexible and remote working Great company but with the right leadership

Minpunten

Since the leadership change last year, the culture within AMS has deteriorated significantly. The new CDTO’s approach has created an environment that feels increasingly toxic and unsustainable for many employees. There is a strong sense that every problem is expected to be solved—or sidelined—by AI, often without realistic planning, sufficient resources, or input from the teams actually responsible for execution. This has led to confusion, constant shifting priorities, and a lack of meaningful support for getting work done effectively. At the same time, workloads have increased to an unsustainable level. Expectations continue to rise, but without additional resources or clear prioritization. Many teams are stretched thin, juggling multiple high-pressure initiatives with tight deadlines, which only adds to the stress and makes it difficult to maintain quality or balance. More concerning is the leadership style. Communication often feels driven by pressure and fear rather than clarity or collaboration. Many employees feel they are operating under constant scrutiny, which has contributed to widespread stress, anxiety, and low morale across the department. It’s becoming common to hear colleagues express reluctance to come into work, not because of the workload itself, but because of the atmosphere.
