Best company ever - Avis employé Premium Auditor Acuity Insurance

Benefits, flexibility, family friendly, employee focused, stability, many perks. The industry is changing very fast, and while most big companies are cutting jobs, Acuity seems to be trying very hard to make changes thoughtfully. There has been an expansion in leadership, creating opportunities and prepping for generational change. Leaders seem to be trying to balance the comfort levels of long term employees with new additions.

There is a tension between the way things have always been done and the need to innovate and stay competitive. Both perspectives are necessary but don’t always coexist well.

- ability to work remote nearly full time - Flexible hours - Unlimited sick days - Casual dress code - Great training program and mentorship - Good company values (caring about other people, having integrity) - annual charity donations made based on employee choice - People are kind - Job stability

- mandatory "fun", including required in-office days a few times a year. Although travel and hotels are paid for, employees are crowded together and expected to socialize all day, sometimes even forbidden from working instead. Many love this, particularly those who work with people and love doing so, but others do not, particularly those in IT and similar departments who signed on for a very different type of work - higher ups seem to dismiss certain employee concerns or deny employees opportunity to share negative feedback in some situations - positive feedback from the majority is sometimes used to drown out serious concerns that only apply to some - The DEIB program was renamed to "Belonging" and a focus was placed on celebrating how many employees feel like they belong at the company instead of listening to minorities who may not feel that way - higher ups seem to be making major reorganization and project methodology changes to "do the work better" without understanding how the work is even done, then telling people they need to "embrace change" if they complain
