First of all I hope I don't get reprimanded for telling the truth about this Co. I was hired the first time to work with Amerit Fleet Solutions in 2010 because it was mandated to them to keep the employees from the previous Co. that had this contract (I work as a contractor for AT&T) for 50 years. I have been working with the previous Co. for 21 yrs. already. Amerit Fleet laid me off the first time in 2013 with no explanation besides that my position was closed and when I asked why only several of us but not all under the same tittle the answer was that they didn't have to give an answer to my question, then I was re-hired in 7-2015 and laid off again in 3-2016 and re-hired again in 12-2017 to present, every time because my immediate supervisor has recommended me to come back due to my experience and knowledge of different departments in Fleet and most of the longtime employees know that if they ask something from me is going to done. Why? I came back every time you will ask, because I like the people that I work with we are long time co-workers specially that is a masculine environment where I am the only woman in my place of work and have always felt relax without any office gossip going on. Too bad they never give me back the pay rate that I had when I was laid off the first time even when they promised to do it and the last race I had was .11 cents. Many of my co-workers are unhappy because the new hires are making more money than the ones working and having over 20 years or experience in this field/Co. This is not a great Co. but is not the worst most of the problems are in upper management, Payroll and the benefits are poorest than the previous ones. In every quarterly meeting we need to waste time to watch how the VIP’s always brag about the new additions to the Co. but we don’t get the benefits of it. I’m grateful to have a job but I know that I’m a very good employee and earn every cent they pay me.

Amerit has no training in place and when I say no training I mean none what so ever. You are expected to do your own onboarding, and learn their computer systems with little to no help from anyone. My first month working here my manager only spent two half days with me. Those days he mostly talked trash about ex employees and current employees he wanted me to avoid. 

The level of stress management will put on you is infuriating. They will ask you to move mountains of work with little to no resources or support. I appreciate being able to work on my own and being trusted with important or difficult tasks, and that is probably the best part of the job.  But It can become very frustrating when you hit a snag in your work load and need help but none is provided.

Benefits are lacking and do not provide much incentive to stay with the company long term. No annual bonus, no 401k match, health befits are extremely expensive compared to other companies I have worked for, sick and vacation time is earned at a snails pace, and they keep taking away holidays; this past year we lost  MLK day. The pay is about the only decent thing, but considering the stress level, and the poor benefits it starts to look worse and worse with every shift.

I will say I have spoken with a few decent people at the corporate level, but most of them seem to also be lacking in management support. So, you essentially have a company that is a ghost ship with no one at the wheel. Frustrated lost employees that have a lack of motivation, and purpose. I recommend you avoid Amerit it is a waste of time and it will more than likely break your spirt and leave you miserable. 

Working as a Fleet Technical Trainer has been an incredibly positive and fulfilling experience. One of the greatest strengths of my role is the highly collaborative team environment. From day one, I have felt that my vision and ideas are not only welcomed but also empowered by my colleagues. Their input is always constructive, and they provide valuable career growth feedback that helps me refine my skills and continue advancing professionally.

The culture within the team is outstanding—open, welcoming, and conducive to building effective training programs. I truly appreciate the trust that leadership places in us, as there is no sense of micromanagement. Instead, ample time is allotted to develop, refine, and deliver high-quality projects. This balance creates a space where creativity, precision, and effectiveness thrive.

Another highlight has been the way my professional experience is recognized and valued. In team projects, my expertise is not only utilized but genuinely appreciated by my teammates, which reinforces a strong sense of purpose and contribution. This recognition, combined with the team’s collaborative spirit, makes every project feel like a shared success.

Overall, this role has been pivotal in my professional journey. The combination of supportive culture, empowerment, and respect for each individual’s strengths makes this team an ideal environment for both personal and organizational growth. I'm eager to see the L&D team grow to match the demands of a growing enterprise in an evolving industry.

Beware. Management is awlful and does not care about the employee. Never follows through with what was promised. During the 6 months of employment I went through 4 managers. Expected me to drive 3 hours just to inventory and update. This company does not care at all for its employees and deffinately not the employees family. Had to go the 3 hours to pick up the truck only to be surprised that it wasnt there then yes back again and this time it was there but was led on a wild goose chase after the 3rd yard the truck was finally located. They just dont have it together.And of course no explanation. Supervisor messes with the time so write it down write it down and write it down. Yes I know I said that 3 times.

If you choose here be ready to totally do each and every detail on the computer you talk to no one.Purchasing well lets just say  you dont get paid to sit at the computer for 3 or more hours doing time, CONCUR or work orders you use your own time. You work in the elements by saying that I mean no cover from rain and very little lighting (I was told to work nights). I was hired to repir fleet which Ive done for 28 years not learn a bunch of computer work. I can completly get the time but all the rest is pure bull.

 If you miss it then you miss it. Nothing is sent in paper form so just be on the stadby for all information. The insurance, well good luck with the $5000. deductable if you get the enrollment information. We missed the first enrollment and had to wait 3 months.

So in short just do your homework and investigate every promise. and best of luck.

I wish this Company luck in finding all the hiccups and finding solutions.

A typical day usually consists of looking and waiting for something to do if you don’t have a big area to take care of. Most of the time its traveling more than an hour just to go pick up a vehicle. But if there is nothing to do, management either tells you to find something to do or go home and either use your sick pay, vacation or don’t get paid at all. Usually have to make follow up tickets just to have something to do for a few hours on different days. I have learned that since I’ve started working for this company makes me wish i had never became a mechanic. Lack of management is a plus and minus. They aren’t constantly looking over your shoulder questioning everything so, they trust you that your doing your job right but, when it comes down to asking questions or trying to get something, you have to constantly remind them and keep asking over and over cause they have too many garages to take care of, (lack of management). The culture isn’t bad but, they could care a little more for our well being and binge a little more to make it comfortable to work in the heat like get us better or more Portacool fans and whatever else is needed. The hardest part of the job is leaving home to go to to said job. Being paid less than people that are either new and have less experience or people that you have been in the company longer than, makes makes you ask, “is it worth it? Should i just not go in?) the best part is the hours. Most management doesn’t care what time you come in, as long as your getting your work done on time and done right.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Amerit had managed to gather a number of great people to the Boeing locations for the fleet repair endeavors before and during my time with the company, which may have masked the sheer number of issues with the program.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The sheer lack of a real "plan" (I was told, many times, that the concept was actually worked out on a bar napkin) and the utter misses in terms of management were crippling.  Shortly after my hiring, the GM was replaced with someone that was truly terrible with people, they had 5 locations and 30+ technicians looking to 1 parts contact, the morale and turnover were terrible...it was the terminally stressed out led by the hapless.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Mostly very good people with vague instructions and limited tools poorly led by stressed management lacking humanity.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
8-10 hours of trying to answer calls/emails/yelled queries/taps on shoulder/new, pointless directives/horribly timed Zoom meetings/fixing months of predecessors' errors while trying not to fall much further behind.
