Access Systems Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Pros

Access Systems is a great company to work for who treats employees like they are family. They truly put the workers first and not only have a good benefits package, but also has uncountable soft benefits. Company functions are truly events to look forward to, the Christmas parties are completely fun and truly memorable events. The trips typically reserved for elite sales people are extended to as many exceptional employees (and spouses) as possible. The management encourages a good work\life balance and also does whatever they can to ensure you are putting your family first.

Cons

The cons I will share is related to the IT department in a senior position, other departments can be different. If you are looking for a career where there is a series of defined job title changes, with preset salaries, this might not be a good fit. It is expected that you find what you do well sink your teeth in and grow. Salaries are largely based on the profit you bring into the company, and the satisfaction you bring to clients.

Pros

The atmosphere is always great. Work life balance is encouraged.

Cons

Fast paced and ever changing. Which for some is hard but for me it is also a positive.

Pros

A great family-oriented working environment with co-workers who care and help each other succeed. People willing to work hard & keep pace do have their efforts rewarded. Excellent work-life balance.

Cons

In any sales and service based company, revenue is king and those who generate it are held in high regard. Access Systems is no different. This can be problematic for administrative and support roles at Access Systems. In the past few years, streamlining of duties and roles has caused higher levels of turnover & increased workloads for team members. This makes for unease among the support staff and concerns about job security, which is usually the kind of situation people who have worked for larger companies have experienced and seek to avoid. Be prepared for high volume and constant change.

Pros

You get to work with great people who care about you as a person and care about doing a good job for the company and for our customers. The importance of a good work/life balance is understood from the senior management down. Very good pay and benefits. Rapid company growth means lots of opportunities exist for advancement. Low turnover, especially considering the industry averages.

Cons

Rapid company growth and hectic pace can be stressful and leads to lots of change, which isn't for everyone.

Pros

From the moment I started at Access Systems, every single individual in the company has made me feel seen, heard, and supported. From leadership that checks in and cheers me on (without micro-managing), to outpourings of advice from the most tenured and successful account execs, I've had every opportunity to succeed here. Training was structured, immersive, and a great mix of on-the-job experience coupled with one-on-one sessions with Access' best & brightest. Management is active in meetings, aware of my goals, and understanding of my opportunities for growth. The fun and supportive culture is apparent in everything Access does: from company get-togethers, to consistently giving back to the community, to the way we genuinely have a good time--both in meetings, or in the sales bullpen. It might be cliche, but completely true: there is truly never a dull moment at Access. Further, the compensation structure is both generous and simple to understand, and the work/life balance couldn't be better.

Cons

B2B is tough business--this isn't for the shy, the cautious, or the faint of heart. My role has challenged me to become more eloquent, structured, disciplined, organized, creative, and competitive. Access has high standards, and this shows in everything they do, including (and especially) account executives: put in the consistent work, be willing to face rejection and harsh words from strangers, and ultimately become a better person for it. I can easily say this job isn't for everyone. I could see some becoming easily discouraged, or even overwhelmed. This career requires learning, listening, and humility: be willing to understand what works, and be willing to seek out advice when necessary. Consistency and strategy lead to successes, which snowball into additional opportunities. If you hate talking on the phone, public speaking, or chatting with anyone from strangers, to CEOs, to small-town independent business owners; I would ultimately recommend against applying for the role.

Pros

I have been at Access for a little over 2 years, I tell everyone I enjoy my job and I enjoy who I work with. Family Oriented Company, Ongoing Training and Advancement Opportunities, We all chip in when the Going Gets Tough, and We Play Hard too. Excellent Work/Life Balance, Access Cares about their Employee's and their Families, and the Communities We Serve.

Cons

Growing Pains as We Adapt and Overcome, but with Growth Become more Opportunities.

Pros

Culture - true circle of safety Growth opportunities - leader are developed within not hired work / life balance Trust / Loyalty

Cons

I am truly having a hard time coming up with one. Less approval processes

Pros

Cons

None I can think of
