Pros
Acuity emphasizes the employee experience (great benefits, perks, and facilities), which in turn results in a unique culture. Employees are positive, which makes working with others more enjoyable (nearly everyone I see greets me with a smile and hello even when I was a new employee). Leadership is very accessible and willing to connect. The company provides several outlets to listen to their employees, which results in implemented suggestions involving the employee experience. By far the best part of working for Acuity is the people. Ultimately, the people make the place, and it makes coming to work much easier when you enjoy your colleagues. Work life balance at Acuity may be as good as it gets. If you want to clock in and clock out (40 hour weeks on average), make good money for the time you worked and receive great benefits, Acuity is as good as it gets. Acuity has been ranked for its unique corporate headquarters. It has a 27,000 sq ft. fitness center, 45 foot rock climbing wall, subsidized cafeteria, and other unique features. It is enjoyable working in that environment. Acuity recently added a work from home policy allowing more flexibility.
Cons
Acuity is very transparent and provides outlets for making suggestions, however, these suggestions are typically only implemented if they have to do with the building, the property or a familiar Acuity process. If the idea is something Acuity has not done prior in the business setting, it is an uphill battle to be taken seriously regardless of your expertise. We have not been surveyed as a company in awhile, so I wonder how employees are enjoying their individual experiences (manager, growth opportunities, job satisfaction). 360 feedback is important as Acuity grows, and there are no current processes in place for doing so.
