Vantaggi
It's a job. If you need a job, well, I guess there are worse ones. An Indonesian clothing sweatshop located in a decrepit, hazardous building without air conditioning would be worse I guess.
Svantaggi
This company is top heavy. And the top gets paid pretty darn well (pres. - 1mm+, veeps-300k+) , while the middle and bottom is not allowed to go over 40 hours per week time-punch, even though there is no way these job could be done in just 40 hours per week. This company keeps the worker bee pool very lean, so a lot of responsibility is assinged to one person... so long long hours are the norm. But you cannot go over your 40 hours per week on the time card, so you have to fudge your time card or get a talking to. Oh, but you can leave an hour early on Fridays to make up for the extra 10 hours you put in for the week. Plus, every corporate buzzword that ever existed is routinely spouted about in meetings. Yes, here you can hear your Vice Presidents talk for an hour but never say anything. It's awesome. Corporate Buzzword Bingo is alive and well at AMN department meetings. Turnover is increasing. The company is heading toward hiring contractors only, and these poor shmucks get the shortest end of the stick. No benefits, long hours, and low pay. Plus, they do not treat mothers coming back from maternity leave well. You will either get demoted (not illegal, because, well, they at least didn't fire you), or will cut your responsibilities to the point where you are no longer needed, and then lay you off. This happened to one woman about 5 months after she returned. It was a deliberate, systematic railroading and she was a good, solid worker. The company is really doing all it can to kill morale. They are doing a great job at this.
