Pros

Free soda, coffee, and fruit Ping pong table and shuffle board Still better than fast food

Cons

Good employees leave, bad employees never get fired Management doesn't understand the job, and so hire people who can't do the job They can't decide if the operations department should be technical or simply a call center trying to churn through calls as fast as possible. Understaffed and they focus on hold times and case-time-to-resolution that there isn't time for people to actually learn how to support the products. Practically no training, and what is there is not focused on how to support the product.

Pros

Nice office space, free fruit and LaCroix

Cons

No exchange of ideas, departments act more like "cliches", employees are asked to just follow directions, not to provide ideas or think outside the box. No real opportunity to grow within company, management picks favorites and those are the only people they listen to. Employees are not allowed to contribute and customers are also not appreciated or listened too either. For a tech company, ABILITY is very closed minded and harsh. Not a collaborative environment, they promise a lot and deliver very little.

We appreciate your thoughtful comments. We use input like this to improve as we grow. ABILITY is a fast growing company and that brings opportunity, but it also increases the need for collaboration and transparency, as well as listening. In 2016 we rolled out IdeaLab, our internal idea generation and listening tool, to help drive a culture of listening and to actively engage employees in contributing their ideas to make ABILITY better. We also continue to work to find ways to enhance collaboration across different functional areas, as well as increase transparency. We would love to hear your ideas. Take advantage of IdeaLab or reach out directly to your manager. Working together we can make ABILITY stronger.

Pros

Company is growing at an extremely fast pace. In the last 2.5 years since joining ABILITY, I believe the company has more than doubled in size for both sales and number of employees.

Cons

Company is growing at extremely fast pace (same comment as the pro). Things happen here at a lightning speed and due to this fast pace of growth the processes are not always in place and this can cause chaos. Sometime I feel I am working at a startup but things seem to be getting better. Though the culture at the office is getting much better it still needs improvement.

Thank you for your feedback. ABILITY is a fast growing company and that brings a lot of excitement and opportunity, but it also increases the need for more structured processes. We’ve invested heavily in strengthening our operational and functional areas in the last 18 months and we continue to improve. While we have a strong customer-retention rate, we want to retain all our customers! Plans are underway to continue to strengthen customer retention. I’d welcome your input. IdeaLab, our online employee idea portal, is a great tool to share your ideas. The more we work together to make ABILITY better, the stronger we’ll become. Thanks for your input. I appreciate your thoughtful comments and your support. Mark A. Pulido Chairman & CEO
