STAY AWAY FROM ACC IT DEPT!
Pros
Some individuals I worked with at ACC were very good natured people that had been there for a few years, but were thinking of leaving due to the new changes from hiring unqualified upper management who intentionally create a hazardous work environment.
Cons
Where to start ... as a Senior Business Systems Analyst within the IT department at ACC we had a team of 7 people, within 3 months, 6 of them are gone and the last person may be on her way out. The main problem is the IT upper management had started and stopped our project at least 3 times in three months and threatened to shut it down and get rid of everyone. The constant threat of loosing our jobs because senior management did not have an IT background and had very little experience managing teams (one was a former Secretary at a law firm) would create unecessary stress on our team, only for us to resolve and manage the project ourselves. ACC cannot fire their employees and had even mentioned that previous employees who violated sexual abuse alegations, and discrimination charges were allowed to stay without any reprimand since they have to commit a crime to be fired. HR and management tolerance to employee bad behavior is very noticable in which I have seen senior management scream at employees in meetings and nothing would ever happen. Because ACC does not fire their employees (even the bad ones and the ones that are uneducated and not a good fit for a new role they have been thrust into), ACC constantly hires consultants to perform the duties for their employees who are inept. This creates a very negative environment to be in, especially within the IT department, since the skills are very technical. Other departments such as Payroll are pretty laid back, the environment is low-key, people do very little work and sit at their same desk for twenty years without doing much of anything different.
