Pros

Solid company, some great co-workers (even those that worked all the way across the US), a CEO who cares about the culture of the company for employees and works hard toward making it a great place to work, a pretty good benefits package when I was there but was not competitive at the time but I do believe they were heading in a good direction with it, never boring as there is tons of work to do at pretty much every level.

Cons

Sometimes, the tons of work to do and not enough bodies to get it done in a timely, efficient manner is a con. At the time I worked there our specific location had a laundry list of challenges and not all management was on board with Rob Alston's goals toward a positive, collaborative, empowered culture. We were in a constant state of growing pains and management turnover was difficult as you would bend over backwards to more than prove yourself and your abilities to your manager, and just when they knew they could rely on you, boom! They were gone and another manager was in place. Still though, this proved to be good for me as it created in me a drive to always work as hard as it took to do my job(s) well.

Thanks for your review here. I appreciate the feedback. I am glad that you found the promotion opportunities as a positive during your time at Access. I appreciate your advice to stabilize before we continue to grow, but I simply disagree that we need to stop growing in order to stabilize. I think we can do both and we are doing both. I know that we are experiencing growing pains and things aren't always perfect, but I won't let perfect be the enemy of good, and nor will I compromise growth, as I firmly believe growth provides opportunity. There will always need to be a balance of stabilization and growth, and I know we haven't always gotten in perfect, but we can and will always investment in improvements along with our growth. I hope this doesn't come across as dismissive, because it isn't meant to be dismissive. I know that different people feel differently about our growth, and I feel strongly that we should continue to grow and build infrastructure at the same time. If we stop growing - if any company stops growing - the decisions become very different and include things like layoffs, pay decreases, benefit cuts, etc., and those are not decisions I want to be faced with as an organization and a team. Please feel free to reach out to me for any reason, including a healthy debate on this topic! :) I can be reached at ralston@accesscorp.com. Thanks for all that you did while you were at Access. The role of Market Leader is complex and can be quite challenging, so I appreciate the time and energy that you invested while here. Thanks, Rob
