Pros

Friendly coworkers Flexible hours Free health insurance Nice office space

Cons

There is absolutely no consistent communication between departments at AAC. There was constantly shifting project scopes, goals, and messaging that could never be agreed on between business development and Michael Cartwright. There was an incredible amount of backstabbing and ego issues coming out of the marketing office in San Diego at all times. Upper management within the San Diego office even participated in throwing other offices under the bus and stealing their projects even though they did not have the work ethic or design skills to do anything decent. Overall, I loved my job, but as soon as Recovery Brands was forced to start working on American Addiction Centers work, it went downhill so fast and became unbearable. It was also difficult to keep a positive frame of mind when there were constant lawsuits and complaints about all of the treatment centers.

Pros

I’ve worked with some great people here over the years. Most have moved on to great opportunities.

Cons

Short deadlines and a lot of change while also being short staffed due to turnover. Upper management is all remote while accountants still work a hybrid schedule. It used to make sense to have a hybrid schedule because the previous CEO, CFO, VP, etc. were all in office the same days as accountants and had meetings in person. Since upper management is all fully remote now, the accountants should be as well. Benefits such as PTO is allowed to accrue to 80 hours and then it stops accruing. 40 hours max can be carried over to the next year. No PTO payout when you leave. Previously you were until this year. Holidays you get off are 8 holidays you choose from a list and New Years is a fixed holiday. Used to be more holidays similar to banking holidays. Performance Reviews were in July 2025 and we won’t see the pay raise until March 2026. Pay raises don’t happen every year. The reviews are very long and drawn out.
