Pros

The hard working staff that make Access; the route drivers/transportation specialists.

Cons

Employees work so hard while management sit and delegate without offering any help! They think the job is easy and they make things hard on drivers. Management is so greedy that it took 10 years + being with the company to finally get a decent raise. Not really enough for living in Hawaii's economy. No more so called bonuses because it's been added in to increase hourly pay/ wage. They don't honor Hawaiian holidays nor our veteran's day holiday. No chances for advancement in the company. No appreciation for hard workers. Management quick to blame instead of investigating the truth first. Not family oriented!!

Thank you for your feedback. As noted in other reviews, I read each and every comment and take them all seriously. Given that I am born and raised in Hawaii, which is also where I started my business, I feel I have a good understanding of the differences between Hawaii and the mainland. As a ten year tenured team member you have a great perspective on how Access has grown and changed since I started my business in Hawaii and joined the Access team. You're right that we don't honor Hawaii specific holidays, like Kamehameha or Kuhio Day, but every team member also has two floating holidays to observe whichever holidays they would like to observe. Additionally, many years ago the company team members voted to take the day after Thanksgiving as a holiday instead of veteran's day, but again we provide two floating holidays to all team members to observe whichever holidays they would like to observe. Finally, we also provide a mission critical service managing information for tens of thousands of businesses, including many, many hospitals, that require services on holidays, so we can't simply close the business down on all holidays. I do appreciate your hard work - and the hard work of all Access team members. I understand that you don't feel appreciated by your local team members and leadership and for that I apologize. I will be in Hawaii later this month and will spend time with all team members and local leadership making sure that everyone has the opportunity to speak with me directly. I look forward to that opportunity with you and your team members. As always, I am open to a conversation to learn more about your specific concerns and issues you may have had with payroll or regarding changes in our compensation approach. Please email me directly at ralston@accescorp.com and I will respond to you directly. I treasure our and my roots in Hawaii and all team members and your perspective matters to me and the leadership team. Mahalo for your review, Rob

Pros

Terrific place to work! Great work environment and a sensational culture.

Cons

I've been the Ops Manager for going on 6 years now. Whoever wrote the review almost 4 years ago claiming to be the Ops Manager was being deceptive. Upper management regularly visits and genuinely cares about their team.

Pros

Manager fights for benefits for employees After a few months, duties and responsibilities are consistent.

Cons

Unorganized Salary is below average for the speciality work done and environment that work is done. No A/C in facility, so summer months are unbearable after noon.
