If you need a job to pay the bills and do not mind work ruling your life go here. - Financial Services Associate Amscot Financial Employee Review

amscot culture is very great. they support you a lot.

i do not really have nothing negative to say except the pay is low

I personally, after years of serving tables and bartending, find the job and the environment much easier on me mentally to work in. Work is repetitive, same transactions all day and I like consistency and being able to slightly go into “auto pilot” comfortably when I feel like I need to. Training was awesome, I’m so used to getting thrown to the wolves at a new job, and having a full week of training and learning before being in the branch was awesome, however there’s still not 3 training centers in the state, so you may have to commute every day for 5 days. MY branch, personally, is full of amazing coworkers who make coming to work not so bad.

THE PAY. Especially when you consider the responsibility to carry with compliance and high amount of money. The pay is SAD. The pay needs to be more. And they push people to promote to leadership, but for what??? A 25 cent an hour raise with LOADS more responsibility? It doesn’t make sense. The only people who make decent money are overnight leaders. Even the branch leaders are making petty money. Also they use out-dated “paid vacation” instead of giving PTO. You get ONE week after AN ENTIRE YEAR with the company. And they don’t even approve your unpaid time off requests that easily… I’m someone who’s use to taking a week off like 4 times a year, and I don’t care whether it’s paid or not, but I feel like I can’t do that anymore and it’s driving factor that could lead to my separation from the company.
