      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good hours. After applying, it is easy to ignore any response from ACE. Getting fired from ACE follows no pattern... morning, evening, Mon - Fri... Anytime is a good time to get fired so there is no anxiety prior to getting fired. No warning at all! Its great!

      Cons

      LEIGH SARGENT, President, has no managerial skill. Micromanager extraordinaire. Whatever you do, don't have your own idea or LEIGH will let you know how much better his idea is and how stupid your idea is. LEIGH will blame everyone for his failure of leadership and direction. Expect no warning or coaching prior to being fired. You will be talked behind your back by LEIGH as he does to his trusted (but changing rapidly) core group.

      Turnover tells the story

      Mid-level manager

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      First line production team is great to work with and make continued effort. Many of the mid-level managers as well as most of the VP's were great to work with as well. Company match in 401k for all employees along with enrollment in SmartDollar.

      Cons

      Constant upheaval of all levels in the organization. Between people quitting of their own accord and Leigh firing people the turnover runs 50% - 60%. There is no commitment to the Core Values that they espouse.
