Pros

Generally nice co-workers, lunches and snacks once in a while, good health benefits. Training regarding health insurance policies that can be useful for future employment. Managers are in meetings most of the time so you aren't really micromanaged.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations regarding attendance and workload. Managers do not listen or help if you say you are overwhelmed. Compensation does not match the huge amount of responsibility you are given. Managers are not trained properly in a reasonable amount of time to be useful to their departments. HR is absolutely awful and their actions are largely based on how they personally feel about you, not your work....including whether or not they allow you to use the benefits you are entitled to. HR is spiteful, angry and fake and will not hesitate to ask odd personal questions. They will say there is room for advancement, but in reality most moves are lateral and are celebrated as if they are promotions (I always found this very strange). If you are not an obnoxiously loud busy body don't expect to be actually promoted under any circumstances. I attempted several times to ask for additional communication training and development opportunities and was consistently turned down or put off.....they were willing to point out flaws of mine and always had great "ideas" to help me out but never did their part to realize them. In general, there is a "sneaky" feel around the office and information is kept from employees. In the last few years Action has transformed from a decent, professional place to work into one that is uncomfortable to even walk into.

Pros

Excellent work environment, great pay & benefits, caring management and an all around great place to work. Exceptionally caring environment that goes above and beyond to create a place you enjoy being a part of.

Cons

Well, I hate getting up early but knowing I get to spend the day with a great Crew, it’s worth it!

Pros

Fewer and fewer every year. This company is really run as a charity for the owner. If you get in the good graces of the President you will not have to work very hard with decent pay.

Cons

The current President is just a friend of the owner who plays favorites and gets rid of anyone with experience in areas she does not have, which is really anything but old school IT. The company is slowly getting smaller and smaller every year and still only really focuses on and understands Blue Cross since that was the golden goose in the past. If you want to grow and learn and be rewarded for being a hard worker this is not the place for you. If you want decent benefits, just coast and be ok with beng mediocre, this will be a good fit. Sadly, the glory days of this company are long over.
