ACT Employee Reviews about "upper management"

Pros

It was a great place to work when the company was mission-driven. The campus is beautiful and the people are talented, very bright and care about what they do. The mission was everywhere and people could even tell you what it was.

Cons

The company is now profit driven more than mission driven. Upper management and board member compensation is way out of whack compared to what others make throughout the company. Continual cycle of layoffs make it impossible to feel any certainty about one's career.

Pros

Good balance of work and life. Only 7.5 hours a day & 37.5 a week. 95% of the time, those are the hours you work. On occasion you have to get that project done. But in those rare cases, you might work 50 hours. Benefits match or exceed anybody in the area.

Cons

Upper management wants to hear your ideas or how to make it better but rarely are the ideas used. It really takes a lot to grease the wheels with upper management and even then, upper management is very top heavy and very bureaucratic.

Pros

Good benefits package, internal training courses offered, ability to move to other areas of the company. Upper management is pretty good and is working to overcome the .org static and sluggishness. You will pretty much get promoted to middle management if you can last for a few years and still have a pulse.

Cons

Middle management is a wretched miasma of the Peter Principle. Most managers are defensive and protective of their power so they communicate selectively, openly display favoritism and cronyism and steal credit from one another with abandon. They seem to have a pretty high rate of turn-over in many areas so keep your head down, your mouth shut and keep your resume polished up.

Pros

The co-workers on my team were great. We all worked hard and had mutual respect for one another and the company.

Cons

Upper management has no clue. They bring in new 'shiny' people who feel the need to reorganize and lay-off the high performers who really care about the company and it's product. They 'shiny' people never last either, they have no company loyalty, and jump to the next 'project' for them, meanwhile, the company walked so much talent out the door. Most that have survived work in daily fear of the next lay-off.

Pros

Humane, fairly enlightened work environment. The CEO and upper management are agents of change. The old guard is moving out and a much different profile exists now. Acts competitive although it is a nonprofit. Beautiful campus. Much improved internal communication. Departments may vary, but I found my input valued no matter what position I held. Onsite cafeteria a plus. Easy access from I-80 a plus for commuters.

Cons

Pay could be better; benefits are average to above average.

Pros

PTO was great, good amount of holidays, environment was decent

Cons

Poor upper management at the time
