Pros
The best part about this job was leaving it in my rear view mirror. Pay is decent, but you will work insanely long hours and be expected to perform miracles daily in exchange for your paycheck. Nice building / location on Charlotte’s South End.
Cons
Leadership at highest level is toxic, distrusting and petty. Abusive company culture and mixed-messages from company founders as well as severe micromanagement and inexplicably punitive treatment of employees. They do not care about work/life balance and thrive on making employees jump through hoops just for the thrill of how powerful it makes them feel. I personally witnessed so many toxic, degrading and unprofessional acts, statements and behaviors in my time with the company that I knew exactly what my own fate would be no matter how hard I tried. I was expected to read the mind of a supervisor/founding partner who constantly changed her mind, gaslighted and set me up to fail at every turn. I regularly worked 14 hour days, for weeks and months at a time, and the harder I worked the worse the abuse got. I literally heard this same “leader” call a former employee a very ugly name in front of our external ad agency and for the pettiest of reasons. While I worked at AccruePartners, they were paying a pricey reputation management firm to write fake reviews on Glassdoor, etc. so beware the positive reviews you see here. I don’t know of single former employee who left AccruePartners wishing they could have stayed longer. That says a lot.
