I travel with Medical Express which is a sub-company of American Mobile. You will hear a lot of negativity about the company (and the Evil Empire) because they are so big, usually the complaint is that they don't pay very well. From my expereince, I have had no problems with paychecks, housing, anything. You learn as you go how to work your contract and get what you want. To be honest, I was going to switch companies after this contract to get more money but when comparing the same contracts with different companies-medical Express has still been able to pay better-then it comes down to the benefits. They have had great locations and it has worked for me! You can message me if you would like my recruiter's name-she is great!

I am with American Mobile now and it will be the last time. They are in my opinon not a good choice. I am in my 7th week and the contract still isn't correct, my housing was bad had to once I got here. I get called off all the time and no guarenteed hours. Been a very bad experinece. My recruiter hasn't called me in almost three weeks even though I have left messages in tears.

Try to look for other agencies. There are dozens of really good ones out there. I had a very bad experience with American Mobile about unpaid salaries and referral bonuses. Even their managers won't reply to your emails promptly. Good luck!
