Pros

Union Good co-workers Good for people who are in dire need of money to pay bills while you look for something else.

Cons

Ladies and gentlemen in the shop environment. Please do your homework when joining this company. Amerit was or is a job placement company. So upper management do not know about fleet maintenance. If you go on their web-site there might be a couple of gents that sit on the board that might look like the have experience, but looks are deceiving. All these presidents and Vice Presidents have done is gather potential clientele for business and try to bid as low as they can to bag the client and hire the least amount of technicians to do the work. According to management the ratio of equipment to 1 mechanic is 50. Now I wish I was a fly on the wall when this number was given. Imagine all the managers at their yearly convention and one brilliant manager said to all the others while sipping on the company paid water( do you really think they were drinking water), "I got it, we can squeeze 50 pieces of equipment to 1 mechanic." This means every mechanic needs to touch 2.2 units a day in a month working 5 days a week. Ok it's not everyday or every month you replace an injector, turbo, transmission, clutch, or all major repairs that might take more than one day. In my experience of 12 years I have noticed when one goes down the others are not far behind. So 2.2/1 is gone down the drain. It's time to play catch up. Current employees don't be misled ask your managers what your counts are and the numbers will be real close I guarantee it.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your review. Let me first start by clarifying that Amerit Fleet Solutions is NOT a job placement company. We are a national provider of fleet maintenance. That is our core, and only, business. While it is true we use a ratio system to develop headcount solutions, we take into consideration the type of equipment, age and mileage of the client’s fleet and ultimately determine staffing based on the needs of the business. No employee is asked or expected to allow a vehicle to return to service that is either unsafe or will break down. We take our reputation and the safety of drivers and the motoring public very seriously. In fact, safety is one of our core values. Amerit’s executive leadership team boasts a mix of talent including sales and marketing, finance, account management, business management and yes, maintenance management. Combined, Amerit’s leadership group has extensive maintenance experience, including time spent as mechanics in commercial and military garages. While we value the diversity that our non-fleet employees provide we rely on our field Manager’s many years of technical expertise. Every field manager from the VP on down has been a technician. If you, or any of our employees have concerns that they do not feel they can bring up with their local manager, I would recommend that you contact HR or the anonymous tip line for reporting problems. In addition, please reference the HAZREP program for monitoring and reporting safety issues.

Pros

Had good health, dental and vision insurance. Honestly can't think of anything else good to say about my time working there.

Cons

I have several complaints from my years working here. I received only one pay raise in the years of working here. Handled several different accounts and always did everything I could to help the company. Yet never rewarded. Only offered money when notice I was leaving was given. You could work there for 15 years and still only get 2 weeks vacation. They hire inexperienced Fleet Managers/Sr Fleet Managers. How some of these people could even be considered is beyond me. Little to no training for techs. Did not want to purchase tools needed to get jobs done correctly. Lost too many contracts and only cared about Amerit and never the client. Bid contracts to where is was impossible for them to make money and then blame the workers for their shops failing. I don't believe they have the right people in place to run a Fleet Service Company. Vendors not getting paid and accounts cut off from getting parts constantly. I would say the best year was the first year after that it declined every year after. It might be fine to work at their corporate office but as far as a shop environment I would stay away.

They don't treat you well they say they care but don't. No union Raise is laughable at best. Upper management is horrible. Hr takes days even weeks to respond to you.

I am happy to hear that you enjoy working with your colleagues and that your manager is great. That really does make all the different in the world. I'm a little confused by who it is that you say is not treating you well. Is this something that you can address with your Manager? If not , please feel free to reach out to me directly, or anybody no the HR Team. I'm not in a position to comment on your allegation that it takes "days even weeks" for HR to respond to you. While they certainly are busy, our Service Level standards require that they return your call/email within 24-48 hours. Again, if you ever experience a delay, please reach out to me directly. Could it be that you don't have the right contact info? The Employee Services Center can be reached a (855) 843-9798 or hr@ameritfleet.com. Annual increases are merit based, ensuring that the best performers receive the highest raises. While we were not in a position to process large increases, they were in keeping with the current Cost of Living rates. Per our pay practices, we use a Market Based Pay Rate, meaning that as we hire each person, we take into consideration their experience, what the job requires and what the local market is currently paying for similar jobs. This rate does fluctuate.
