Pros

The people I work with

Cons

Lack of communication from upper management. The work load expected from team members is extremely high all day every day. Most things learned were self taught by trial and error but then get fussed at for making mistakes but never were trained properly. It will be highly unlikely that you will get a title change because in that instance Access would have to pay you more even when you have went well beyond expectations and taking on work loads way above your title. I understand this is a fairly new company but when building a new/good company you need to start with the people that DO the labor and Mental hard work for this company that bring in revenue and keep the business going. I personally have currently been struggling with this issue.

Thank you for taking the time to post your review here on glassdoor. I appreciate you sharing your genuine feelings, and I admit that this review is relatively (and appropriately) painful to for me to read on many levels. I am glad to hear that you enjoy the people that you work with on the team at Access and that you find that to be “pro”of the time that you are investing here at Access. I am really disappointed, but not completely surprised, that you find communication from upper management lacking. We have worked hard to improve communication – both frequency, but also content of the communication. For a long time we did monthly company wide calls, but struggled with the right content and a lot of people loved the calls, but a lot of people felt that the information wasn’t always relevant to them specifically. We are working to put more resources into communicaiton, including the additon of a position specifically to improve internal communications. I am, however, surprised that your training has been so insufficient as we have invested a lot in training, especially for transportation specialists, including SMITH driver training to help esnure the safety of our team members. Additionally, please reach out to your local HR business representative about growth and development opportunities. We promote a lot from within and there are a lot of open positions across the country, if you’re interested in applying and potentially taking on more responsibility. I genuinely do care about all of our team members, but I guess those words are hollow if you’re not feeling it in how the company is treating you day-in and day-out. Many have heard me say this recently, but I will reiterate it here: as a transportation specialist, you will see more clients this week than I will in one year. You are the face of the company to so many of our clients and I genuinely appreaciate and respect the work that you’re doing for our clients and for the company. I would love to hear more about how you feel we can show you our appreciation for you efforts, so please do reach out to your local HR business representative, speak to your local leadership, or please email me directly (and anonymously, if you prefer) at ralston@accesscorp.com Thanks, again, for posting this review here on glassdoor; I appreciate you doing so. Keep REACHing, Rob

Pros

This company is growing rapidly and has been doing so for years. Lot's of potential for career advancement if you are willing to relocate. The senior leadership in this company is extremely intelligent and has one goal in mind; advance the team, advance the company. Senior leadership all the way up to the executive leadership are always willing to help and assist where needed, all you have to do is ask them. Great benefits packages including short and long-term disability, 401K, 401K match, company internal grants for financial assistance, and bonuses.

Cons

Salaries. This is something they were working on when I departed. The CEO and CPO developed a team to research, evaluate, and recommend salary changes based on the area cost of living and position.

Thank you VERY MUCH for this heartfelt and positive review. I agree that there is lots of opportunity for growth and advancement in the company for those who are willing to REACH for it, ask for it and get after it! While I won't claim be part of "extremely intelligent" crowd, I will agree that our executive team is very much interested in the goal you note: "advance the team, advance the company." I am glad you appreciate the benefits package which we work hard every year to upgrade and evaluate for further advancement. Finally, yes, we continue to work to understand market competitive wages and address accordingly in the company. It saddens me how much we miss the mark here in some places and for some people, but we will continue to work at it and invest significantly to get it right. It just isn't as easy as everyone hopes to get it right on a dollars and cents basis, which is why we try to provide a comprehensive total rewards package that includes other benefits. Thanks again for your review and please feel free to reach to me at any time at ralston@accesscorp.com. Thanks for all the work you did while here at Access and I wish you all the best, Rob

Thank you for very succinct and to-the-point review. It is great to hear you appreciate the team mentality and spirit here at Access. We work hard to foster that in our culture. I appreciate you requesting more thorough communication. This is an area that requires further investment (always, it seems). We will continue to develop these muscles and work hard with the entire team to ensure that all communication is being cascaded throughout the entire organization – and that the leadership team is communicating more and more. Thanks, also, for bringing up compensation. We are working hard to stay competitive on our total rewards (compensation and benefits) package and recognize there are areas where we are farther behind the market than we would like to be for compensation. This is a continuous effort and we will be making (again) market compensation adjustments very soon in certain markets. I would love to hear more about why exactly you wouldn't recommend working at Access. Please feel free to reach me at ralston@accesscorp.com and please know our conversation would remain confidential. Thanks again for your review, Rob
