The primary issue with amscot is its constant struggle in its staffing to volume ratios. It’s always been bad over the years and has gotten so severe that it basically forced me into resignation (quitting). I have been in the workforce for roughly 18 years, and I’ve never witnessed a company this dysfunctional in my life. This issue has shifted full control to associates to the point where general branch operations have become chaotic and toxic. Another big one is the fact that you don’t get guaranteed raises for getting promoted.. I’ve spoken to several associates who experienced the same thing. Keeping negligent associates has taken priority at the expense of the company’s policies and procedures. In addition, the majority of the senior staff resigned in my area, which has created issues as simple as no one being able to identify how to shut the alarm off. The general day to day tasks involve everything with managing very high volume cash, hence the title high risk employment (always one step away from making a big problem for yourself). There is a count back box to assist your counting but it is not always used and is not available for other tasks with large cash, especially since most associates do not adhere to cash transfer procedures. If you currently aren’t experiencing any issues in your branch, this can change dramatically when you lose just one person. The company stated schedules must be posted 2-3 weeks in advance, however, the schedule was literally changing on a daily basis. Employee morale was very low due to lack of control and management.. associates became hostile and when written up numerous times, no actions were taken. Overall, the risk associated with working at amscot is by no means worth it unless you are on the verge of becoming homeless or desperate to get short term (6 months) financial service experience. I have worked in several branches and if you’re not dealing with associate misconduct/laziness, you’re dealing with staffing issues or both.
