Guaranteed hours with AmericanMobile


My wife has been with intelistaf the last 3 assignments. Overall she has been pleased with them, however she is considering changing to americanmobile because they have an assignment where she wants to go and intelistaf does not. Intelistaf has always had guaranteed 36 hours of pay per week written into the contract. American mobile is saying that they can not do this. When my wife started asking about this the recruiter tried to blow it off and started mentioning all of the "wonderful" benefits they had to offer. What do you guys think? Have you had any bad experiences with americanmobile?

Exclamation Re: Guaranteed hours with AmericanMobile
I would never work for an agency that doesn't guarantee hours. There are too many out there that do...I would also be leary of recruiters who paint beautiful pictures of wonderful benefits....nothing is free...there is a bill rate split into two parts...their profit/expenses....and your compenstion package....nothing is free.

There area number of threads here on AMH.

Most of them are not favorable. And based on my experience, I would not work with them.

I have many many friends who travel and every single one of them has had a bad experience with American Mobile. One actually had to open two bank accounts and once she was paid into the first one, she'd immediately transfer it to the next one because she had had AM take her pay back in the past.
