American Traveler

The training is very good. Remote is good but it goes downhill from there. American Traveler has outdated systems as a remote recruiter you will be required to provide your own equipment like laptop/computer and dual screens. They will send you a phone, no not a cell phone, a huge desk old phone that they use to track and monitor every call. This place is remote but they should just call it work from home because you can hardly leave your desk. And they are paid to micromanage your every move text and call.  It’s micromanagement x10! Training is about 3 weeks.  Then they expect you to make 100 cold calls a day to get nurses to agree to let you find them work.  Sounds easy but you will quickly learn the positions are low paying and most nurse will complain that it is much less than most other agencies.  You will spend hours finding nurse to submit them once you do the job will be closed.  Reason for this is their systems and software is outdated and not up to industry standard. They only want nurses that will agree to take the lowest rates and will blame the consultant when they go with the competition. Learn what you can then run! You will be micromanaged and disrespected. You will receive a guaranteed commission and salary that is usually less than most nurse recruiters base.  You will make about 0.30 for each hour your nurse works, well under industry standards.  I do not recommend working here. 

My recruiter is very involved in ensuring that I get the next job and that I am in reasonable working conditions where I currently work. As a travel agency they have a great amount of opportunities available for nurses and they work with other agencies as a sub contractor to avail you even more jobs to search through. The only drawback to that is that you may make less money if you are working on a job that is subcontracted but the job I got had insurance with American Traveler where the contractor did not offer that, so they could afford to pay more. At first I thought my recruiter wasn't paying attention to me because she kept asking similar questions but when I addressed this she stated that she was just ensuring I hadn't changed my mind and could read back from her detailed notes what I had originally wanted.The biggest compliment I can give them is even though I had signed up with multiple agencies that said they could get me work, American Traveler actually did get me my first assignment.They guided me through what was needed to be ready for the assignment and have done a great job ensuring  my check is correct every week. I took an extension and look forward to my next assignment with them.

The last two years have been the best of my life and I have American Traveler to thank for it!  This agency has given me the opportunity to not only travel all over the U.S., but work in some of the country's best hospitals including Yale University and Mayo Clinic. I have expanded my nursing skills a great deal due to all the different environments I have practiced in.  My recruiters Karen Stegeman and Kayla Anthony are pretty much rock stars in my eyes and I'm so beyond blessed to have these two on my side!  They know exactly what I want and will stop at nothing until it becomes a reality (like spending all day on the phone with the Board of Nursing trying to put a rush on license approval so I wouldn't have to miss my start date!).  Nance in housing is pretty amazing and has put me in some absolutely incredible apartments for each and every assignment.  I have never physically met any of these people, but they are like my family; always there to pick me up during the bad times and there to celebrate all the good times.  I'm so grateful for all the experiences I have had and the people I have met along the way.  I can't wait to see what the future has in store for me and I'm so thankful it will be with the guidance of this agency!!

I have been working at American Traveler about a year now and working for this company has been the best decision I have ever made. I turned down a job offer from another company to work for American Traveler and I have never looked back. I enjoy coming into work everyday because there is always a new challenge to conquer and the people are a joy to work with. This company has enabled me to improve on all my skills, in and out of the office. They answer any questions I have and support me in my growth within the company. The most appealing aspect of the company is the opportunity for upward mobility. Succeeding in my career is my ultimate goal and I have found a great fit. I highly recommend anyone to apply and take a chance like I did. There are so many possibilities within this company.

I was looking at having to find a new job last summer.  I started filling out the application but didn't have all the information needed to complete it so I just saved it.  The very next morning I was contacted by Karen and was asked how soon could I start working and helped me get started with the necessary paperwork and documentation I would have to get together.  She has always been available to help me and answer any questions I had.

Getting the job at Kent General has been a breath of fresh air for me in my nursing career.  The staff have been very helpful and friendly from the beginning and I have really enjoyed the atmosphere here.  I was happy to get an extension and am looking at possibly going to a different department at the end of this contract.

    Having worked for many diverse industries and types of workplaces throughout my own work history, I can truly say that American Traveler is at the top of my list of best places to work. 
    
    This is a work environment in which I feel valued and where my contributions are recognized and appreciated.   Undoubtedly, this is a sales-driven business and there are pressures that go along with that, however, it's been my experience that despite this, the work enviornment is positive and comfortable with a natural comaraderie among the staff (at all levels).

    From my perspective, as a supporting team member, the management values their employees, is accessible at all times, welcomes suggestions and feedback from employees and provides ample opportunities for training and advacement.  

Being a recruiter at American Traveler has been a great experience for me. As a recruiter, I have developed my sales and customer service skills and been exposed to new situations and challenges on a daily basis. I have learned to be successful under pressure, a skill that is as useful outside of the office as within. As far as the money goes, if you are motivated and disciplined, you definitely have the opportunity to make more money as a recruiter here than you would at most jobs with similar hiring qualifications. The job is stressful, but the corporate staff is supportive and hard work is rewarded. Also, the company often promotes from within, meaning that there is the option of career advancement.

On a less serious note, the company celebrates EVERYTHING with food, which is awesome.

From the perspective of an employee who has been working for corporate American Traveler for over 7 years, I can say that I find this to be a great company.   In my role I interact with all the departments of this agency and can truly say that our corporate environment is upbeat and engaging.  While we do focus on productivity, we continually train, encourage and support staff.  We work hard but also have fun which translates directly to the Traveler experience and the level of service we provide.  I have always been impressed by the level of ethics and professionalism demonstrated in all areas and how much effort is put behind all aspects of what we do both for internal staff and our Travelers.

Working for American Traveler had its pros and cons like any company. They have a great training program and really make sure you are trained and suited for the position you were hired for. Hands on training for about a month and co workers were always willing to help you. Lots of work. Emails exceeded over 100 per day during the busiest months. Average about 50 emails per day easily. Pay was low and while there was room for growth and promotions, the pay never really went up more then a dollar or two. Recruiters are favored heavily so get ready for that. Overall its a good company to work for as a fresh college graduate, but there are better opportunities out there once you have gained the experience you were looking for

American Traveler is my first travel company I have used and I could not have asked for a better experience. I have a great professional rapport with my recruiter; my recruiter, Cassandra Levin, tries her best to get me the best travel assignment possible, is on top of everything and hits me up with a text, phone call, or email at LEAST once-twice a week. The reality is travel nursing is competitive, you won't always get the pay or the location you want; but working with a positive recruiter makes all the difference. Overall, I'm very happy with my experience with American Traveler.
