Pros

I made positive impact on a lot of people’s lives.

Cons

This is just a follow-up from when I got let go a year ago. Please- I urge you to think twice for accepting a position with ACS. They take advantage of and exploit kind, hard working people. Raising concerns and not having a “yes man” mentality is perceived as a threat. I have long lasting physical and mental trauma from my position. I straight up developed an auto-immune disorder from the amount of stress, hours, and insane workload I had. I have ptsd symptoms from how I was treated and let go, and now go to therapy. My body is still recovering from burn out a year later. I’ve tried voicing my concerns to appropriate parties and community leaders, but I learned that people that have an external appearance of giving and doing good work ultimately don’t care if it’s not for their benefit and if no one is watching 🤷‍♀️ To summarize, working for ACS was like being metaphorically punched in the face everyday and having to say thank you for it.

Pros

Benefits package is great: medical, dental, vision, 403B, plenty of PTO Leadership is very easy to speak to, direct supervisors are always available and accommodating Schedule changes and requesting time off is never an uphill battle, they try their best to accommodate your needs and if they're unable to, offer alternatives and keep you apprised of when they will be able to. GREAT work life balance

Cons

Pay could be higher No annual bonuses (although there are performance awards)

Pros

Mission-driven work so feels like you are helping the world, your core team can be very collaborative and supportive, flexible remote work, good PTO and work / life balance.

Cons

Management makes or breaks the culture, when I first started it was a great place to work, then the shift in management changed a lot over the years. Currently, I would not recommend anyone to work here. The pay does not keep up with the cost of living, and no matter how much you go above and beyond, you will not see any change or recognition (title change, pay bumps, nothing). It is a stagnant place to work. Leadership asks for our thoughts every quarter, knows what people are unhappy about, and doesn't do much or anything about it. Instead they are constantly restructuring the organization and there is no stability or consistency in processes or communication.
