Acelero, Inc. reviews

- Lack of support and knowledge from supervisors. You're either micromanaged or completely left to your own devices depending on who supervises you. Advocates are basically training each other. - No direction or actual training is given besides online modules and you are expected to comply with any changes whether or not they make your job. - Advocates who do nothing but have good relationships with supervisors are allowed to do whatever they want, even when fellow advocates are the ones picking up the slack for them to properly serve families at their center and meet objectives set by leadership. - Being expected to build and maintain relationships with families while being moved from center to center on an almost yearly basis. (Unless you are too difficult to work with, making you more likely to stay at the same center where people already know how you are.) - Company as a whole does not actually care to provide help or services to families and prioritizes having good numbers to report (they'd rather drop certain students than actually provide help). - Hardly any opportunity for advancement unless your supervisor decides they want you to take their spot or you just go look for a better job. - Most people working at HQ have no idea what is going on in each center and they are all run very differently.

Incredibly unprofessional, you never really see things change even though they hire Managers of _____, seems like jobs are created so people can work remotely and collect a check, little connections between mission and actions. I watched the company promote people without going through a fair hiring practice that the company designed. This happened at multiple levels of the company. Leaders seem to sit in video meetings all day where they argue while schools lack air conditioning and qualified staff. I know this because then they complain to their lower employees about how hard things are for them because those employees cant do anything about it. And your reviews happen so randomly so you don't really know where you stand on your professional journey. Maybe this year, maybe next, depends if they want to. For a reflection on how that feels, ask them which category is the lowest rated in the company survey, every year. They spend lots of money to hire people at the top and also hold meetings in different places around the US. If I wrote more about what Ive seen there, you honestly wouldn't believe me. So if you take a job there, bookmark this review and check back in 3 months. You'll see.
