This company helped start my career

Pros

First, I should mention that Accesslex was willing to take a risk with me early in my career and gave me the opportunity to develop my skill set at their company. I was able to get the time and support from management to grow into the position. This, coupled with cross-training in multiple disciplines in my field, has helped me greatly in my current work environment. Secondly, the benefits at this company, especially medical and 403b are great. When compared to the options available at most other companies that I have seen, especially medical, you’re going to wonder why you can’t get anything similar anywhere else. The amount the 403b matches is higher then I’ve seen anywhere, and the medical was easily better than the gold plans available on the open marketplace. Lastly, this company likes to throw social events throughout the year. These were always fun and a great way to get to talk with coworkers outside of your department. You’ll see people from all parts of the company at these events, including senior management and the CEO.

Cons

No options to use a Mac instead of windows. No telecommuting. This coupled with the company moving to another state is what ultimately led to me looking for employment closer to home. Otherwise I’d likely still be working there.

Pros

Having worked at AccessLex, it's not clear as to what some of the other reviews here are referring to. Generally, this is a good company, with a solid mission, filled with caring people. The benefits are very good especially in comparison to current world we live in, (health care is great, along with generous 403b matching). It's not a huge company, so everyone needs to and is expected to pull their weight. The environment is professional and there was some cancer specifically in how the former COO ran things, that has thankfully been corrected. My management was always fair and easy to work with.

Cons

Work from home should be an option, its 2018.

Pros

Health Benefits were pretty good. Not as great as one reviewer makes them sound though, there are still costs associated with things. Lots of good good people at the low level, who are happy to help and offer guidance. If you suck it up and bow down to the overlords in management like a good little sheep, you may be so lucky as to get educational benefits and/or the options to attend industry conferences.

Cons

In reality the biggest issue here is the absolute lack of Work/Life balance and respect for the lives of the people who do the actual work here. Management expects all non-hourly employees to be working constantly. And they consistently keep a close eye on your time away from your desk and on breaks - forbid your lunch is one hour AND one minute long. The other reviews have done a pretty stellar job at pointing out the issues. The company really embraces that 'Big Brother' feel. They go out of their way to use scare tactics and extreme monitoring and restriction to attempt to 'enforce' a "hard-working mentality". The environment is hostile, and far from encouraging of growth, either personal or professional - if anything it is 'cliquey' and stifling.
