Pros
Working at Accion was an amazing place to make friends and learn teamwork, because we were all being put through the same unrealistic expectations and bad leadership. Human Resources was a listening ear, but they had little pull in helping the employees due to the leadership having a “my way or the highway” type attitude toward their business. Was a great place to make friends, but horrible work environment Salary was “okay” to start, but no real way to make commission because old sales practices were used and if employees did not follow, they were reprimanded, consistently....
Cons
Leadership, both in the office and executive were absolutely horrid. There was little sense on how to bring people together for the better of the business. Two meetings a day, if not more left little time to focus on your work. Constant interruption by management on little details (micromanagement) Too worried about numbers instead of the overall picture, and no real attempt to help train, just belittling employees until they had no other option than to leave. Training program was not quality and it was really a learn as you go job. Very sexist environment, all figureheads except for HR were male and had little listening ear if you were a female. Hours are long and grueling Work life balance was “preached” but never actually practiced. Very tension filled office life, always worrying if that day was the day you were getting fired
