People, ACA's greatest asset are not valued.

Pros

RRR Week and Summer Fridays; direct managers who are trusting and let you work and don't micromanage.

Cons

New CEO Patrick Olsen and his decisions have been atrocious for ACA. People used to matter. The 1 week per year of service severance given to the most recent laid off employees is egregious and disrespectful. You are also not eligible to be paid for your unused accrued PTO upon displacement. Rumblings of more people possibly starting to jump ship before it sinks. I have no doubt RRR Week and Summer Fridays will be a thing of the past under the new leadership.

Pros

The people hands down are the best. A lot of younger people at the company which makes it great for being right out of college. Additionally they have amazing flexibility and PTO (summer fridays where everyone gets off 3 hours early, flex time for doctors appointments, flexible schedules, etc.)

Cons

Due to many acquisitions and acquired firms keeping their pay structure pay is all over the place and significantly lower than the market standard. HE is currently trying to correct it but it’s been a project in the works for 2 years now and employees are becoming frustrated with how long it’s taking. The firm is owned by a PE firm and its very obvious they do not care about the ACA employees and only about their bottom line. ACA laid off 10% of the firm in April of 2020, enforced the non-competes, cut pay on the employees left by 10-20% (depending on level) and then immediately hired two c-suite executives. Then when it came time to reinstate pay the c-suite executive joked about it like it wasn’t people’s livelihoods.

Pros

Working from home and not being forced into an office during a pandemic is nice

Cons

Imagine coming to Glassdoor to voice actual concerns such as a new PTO policy that forces you to use PTO and schedule when you will use all of it 3 months in advance, HR being corrupt, management being incompetent, metrics being miscalculated and then being dismissed as a "troll" and as either "let go" or "should be let go". That tells you all you need to know about ACA, but in case you need more: 1. Tone deaf - Company announces layoffs and significant salary reductions at the same time it announces hiring 2 c suite executives 2. Management and HR - Everyone is buddy buddy in that space. Voice any concerns in person and you will suffer retaliation. 3. Incompetent managers - Will often make bad decisions where lower level employees suffer the consequences and then go back on it when they realize it was a bad decision (when everyone already knew that). 4. Overwork - Work less than 50 hours a week and you will be questioned by your managers on why you aren't doing enough. 5. Horrible metrics - They use what they like to call "utilization prime" to decide if you've been productive, and if you haven't been as productive as they want with their bs metric, you will be called out. To give you an example, mandatory meetings, company updates and even webcasts by the company on "how to be productive at home" do not count towards utilization, you just weren't being productive enough I guess. 6. Career advancements - you need to jump through certain hoops to advance here, which I guess its fair game, but if you're close with some of the other staff, you can just fail all these hoops and still be promoted. 7. Treated like children - you WILL be treated like children even if you know more than your managers. Your job is to sit down and follow their orders, even if you know they're inefficient or just completely wrong. 8. Cutthroat managers - Managers can and WILL throw you under the bus to cover their hinds. Be prepared for it. I could name so much more, but I just don't have the time for it, after all, I still need to clock in 3 more hours even after working 8 hours in order to satisfy their needs.
