Access Insurance Company Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Access Insurance Company

Pros – Small to midsize company makes you highly visible to upper level management. Presented multiple opportunities to grow in my field. Access offers tuition, and certification reimbursement. Good performers are recognized and compensated fairly. My supervisor trusts in my ability and allows me to get my job done. I can't imagine working anywhere else. 401K employer match is a huge plus!

Cons – Medical Benefits are not great, however compensation makes up for that.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep doing what you are doing.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Access Insurance Company full-time

Pros – The PTO, because once you realize how bad the job is you can use the PTO to interview for other companies.
The coworkers, because we all suffer together.

Cons – Out of the 5 companies I've worked for in the past, Access Insurance is 100% hands down the worst company I ever worked for! It's mostly the lack of leadership and skills from the managers within the department. Forget asking questions to the managers because all they would respond is "Well you tell me" or "Just use logic", and when you present your work to your manager for review, all they say is "well why didn't you this and that?" then you get criticized for the lack of clarity and effort of your work. SERIOUSLY?

Also forget about getting any yearly bonuses for the already stressful year you gone through. Access provides cheap gifts for all its employees. For one example, Access gave everyone a banana stand with the Access Logo ornament hanging off from it. A BANANA STAND and an ORNAMENT. Is that the best they can do to boost morale?

Just save yourself the hassle and stress. Don't apply here.

Advice to Senior Management – Fire all the managements and find someone who really do care about their employees.

Current Employee – been working at Access Insurance Company

Pros – - Good PTO
- Free breakfast every first Thursday of the month and free cupcakes every 3rd Thursday of the month.
-Decent salary for those working right out of college.

Cons – Absolutely no bonuses for annual and work base. The only bonus you get is referring someone to the company if they are hired. Upper management is really poor within the company, they use the method of intimidation toward employees to get work done. MANY people either left, planning on leaving, or let go in different departments in the company. There is a annual Christmas party during work hours, but instead of taking the whole day off you only go for 3 hours and then head back to work.

Advice to Senior Management – There needs to be a better communication from the upper management to the employees.

Current Employee – been working at Access Insurance Company

Pros – Access provides a challenging work opportunity with current technology which you can make your own. They do not hold back the latest and greatest or the expense to give you what you need to accomplish your tasks. If you want to punch a clock, update tables, and be satisfied with what you already know in hopes that you can get by or have a place to hide, this isn't the place for you. Only the best and brightest need apply, because my peers and I are growing, solving technology demands, implementing cutting edge architectures, and enabling the business to grow. Just check the numbers, they don't lie.

Cons – Some are not in it to win it. Some want to continue to celebrate past successes instead of creating new ones. While you are busy patting yourself on the back for last year, who is coding the next measure of greatest? Who is defining the next profitable program? Who is leading the next team to success? That's right, someone else.

Advice to Senior Management – Continue to hire the brightest and best. It may make some feel uncomfortable, but it's up to each individual to then either raise themselves up or choose to be complacent. Don't forget to pat someone on the back even if it's just to keep their hands on the phone or keyboard.
