Pros

There are NONE! Tthis company continually disrupts the employees efforts to make real connection with potential clients. Micro-manages everyone so they have to BCC emails and then sends remarks to simulate training efforts, "thanks for being the guinea pig here..." "I would say it this way..." In any case you did not hire these people to be carbon copies let them inject their own personality into the conversations that they have and stop over riding simple emails as if you were the grammar police.

Cons

They have way to many outstanding disputes, clients suing for nonperformance, consultants suing for misleading them into thinking they had an opportunity (only to find out that they did not, after booking airfare and relocating to client's city). Employees trying to get paid for hours actually worked etc.

Accion Labs Response
11y
Unlike many companies that have a "sink or swim" mentality, Accion Labs does spend a lot of time helping train & grow their employees. Many employees are appreciative of having open and honest feedback from their employers, and we are sorry that this particular employee does not feel the same way. In regards to having many outstanding disputes & clients suing for non-performance this is a complete fabrication, as are the statements about sending consultants to a new city with no actual job opportunity - this would simply be a complete waste of the company's time & resources. Additionally, we do pay all of our employees on time, and follow the FLSA guidelines in doing so, including paying non-exempt employees for overtime worked. The one true fact in this review is that other not so "pro Accion" reviews have been removed because they were in fact spam reviews, which the team at Glassdoor recognized. It should also be noted that Accion has only been in business for 3 years, and houses no part-time employees in our Atlanta office, which indicates that this reviewer is also not being fully truthful in this review. We continue to look forward to our future, and we learn from feedback, both positive and negative. We appreciate that you shared your opinion, and we welcome you to contact the team directly if we can be of any help.

Pros

Great people, laid back environment, the company seems to have the right focus and direction

Cons

Very difficult to get a pay increase, and it's mainly because they are an outsourcing company in terms of you working for their clients, and a set price was already negotiated.
