Pros
The only Pro of working at Amica is typically their stability. However, that is starting to wane as they have been laying off more and more teams.
Cons
- Lower than average salaries - HR reports you to your manager if you use more than half your sick time - Low performing employees aren't punished as long as they show up to work everyday (causing the rest of the team to pick up the slack) - You can get in trouble for menial things that aren't in the employee handbook, like not tucking in a Polo shirt (the rules don't say you have to tuck it in) - Management is largely incompetent and out of touch with the times, technology, and current workplace cultures - Despite Amica being largely non-client facing (in-person), the dress code is still strictly business casual, though the out of touch management sees this as a great benefit because they have been around since suits and ties were required. - There is no culture to speak of: Everyone comes to work and largely watches the clock just waiting to leave - nobody, or at least VERY few people seem even slightly happy there - If you accrue large amounts of sick time due to working absurd hours, you're essentially not allowed to use the sick time because you'll only get behind on work - this is due to poor management not growing the teams to keep up with the workload, thinking that working more hours is the solution - Management tends to rarely ever work overtime despite forcing their teams to - There is no work-life balance - It doesn't matter how early you come into the office (for those that aren't remote), you are forced to stay until a specific time. This is despite the fact that it isn't a rule and HR states this isn't required. Again, VERY poor management - Senior level management/Executives are held in such high regard, you can get "scolded" just for speaking with them actual work - Executives have their own private parking garage and instead of sitting with their teams, they have their own private floor. - Nearly everyone that is an Officer or higher got to that position by simply showing up every day and not quitting; it doesn't make them qualified and in my experience (I worked with nearly every single team), most of them aren't remotely qualified to manage a team
