Pros

There are no pro's to Akken. Honestly...none.

Cons

How they treat women. Inappropriate behavior from high ranking employee's. No training for incoming hires. BUGGY PRODUCT that crashes regularly. Over promising product features that they never follow through with but charge the new customers for.

We take all current employee feedback very seriously. When we saw this post, we asked our software engineers if they posted this to address any open concerns. They said they had not, and we have no reason to doubt their honesty. That said, we do have former employees working for competitors, who perhaps could gain a competitive advantage from writing a negative review such as this. We have a very intuitive platform and strong team. We have an open dialogue culture that supports family, work/life balance, and one another, all while working to exceed customer expectations. Since we replaced some of our former staff with seasoned leaders, we have enjoyed great success over the past year and incredible growth. Plus, we have been a BBB accredited business since 2008 with an A+ ranking. And while no company is perfect, we continue to improve everyday as every company experiencing explosive growth does. Anyone considering one of our many new positions is encouraged to request to speak with one of our current staff members and we will be more than happy to make an introduction to address any questions. We appreciate the chance to respond.

Pros

The company has a great "start-up," like atmosphere and all our employees seem to get a long & enjoy working with one another. There's a lot of talent here...some are from the staffing/recruiting space, others are from the technology sector, and, some, have both in their professional background. The company has brought several key innovations to market in the last 18-24 months and are competitively positioned to continue to grow its market (which is exciting). More, Akken's Customer Success Team is awesome and are truly vested in helping our current clients meet their goals. The expectation is that we deliver as employees for the company (and our clients), but at the same time, Akken provides a good work-life-balance as well.

Cons

The company does not have direct deposit.
