Pros

The mission is a worthy one.

Cons

Company culture does not respect all employees nor the labor some perform: many are taken for granted, particularly non-exempt employees, especially during review periods for salary increases

Pros

You’ll see it in most reviews - the mission. The key thing I miss about working at AACR is being surrounded by some incredibly talented people striving for a noble cause and goal.

Cons

The cons are many, but can be summed up in the lack of culture, accountability, and trust. The office is dreary both in look and feeling. Walking through the floors you’ll see outdated cubicles and miserable faces sitting in them. Employees are fearful of management from top to bottom. There are stagnant middle and senior managers who’ve been permitted to perpetuate the “culture” of bullying and micromanaging, all the while not being held to the performance standards they mandate to those they feel are inferior to them. The most frustrating aspect is many of those “inferior” employees have incredible ideas and perspectives to bring to the organization which is steadily falling behind the standards expected by today’s workforce. AACR will continue to churn vibrant talent if there isn’t a shakeup in the near future.
