- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Best onboarding experience, so much job support. Good people and office environment (pre covid). Meaningful work. Work life balance was beautiful. Had great bosses and colleagues. Networked and connections made were priceless. Allowed individuals to be who they are.
Cons
Had to pay for parking at downtown building. Difficult to find donations checks due to mailing processes. Year end reconciliation was grueling.

Pros
My manager was very supportive and patient with me as I learned the ropes. With a role like Community Development, it came take a year to really start to feel like you understand the role plus get to know your volunteers. I started in January 2020 and thought the training process was fantastic. I only had a couple months in the office before going remote but the switch to remote was relatively easy.
Cons
Like many organizations, we went through 2 periods of lay offs. I was initially laid off in June but hired back within 2 weeks. The second period of lay offs, we were notified before Thanksgiving they would be happening and who it would be. Being let go right before the holidays was incredibly stressful because the timing and the money situation. Additionally, the time frame made it harder to interview with other companies because so many are out of office during that time. Although I was repeatedly told it wasn't my performance, now that I keep seeing similar roles from ACS they are hiring for in my area and have to wonder if they cut people too soon.

Pros
Great opportunity to volunteer and give back to the community.
Cons
Top heavy, too many high level roles and too many competing priorities. Rollercoaster of break fix and releases never stop.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
I worked for them over 41 years before they eliminated my position. The ACS is a great organization and one I was proud to be a part of for so long. I strongly recommend them to anyone.
Cons
They have suffered this year due to Covid-19. It has been a very difficult fundraising year for them, so I hold no ill will toward them for eliminating my IT Service Desk position. I didn't like it, but I understood it. I wish them well in the future.
