During my time at AUC, I had the opportunity to work with many dedicated and hard-working individuals across various departments. The organization is filled with people who genuinely care about their work and want to make a difference. However, I found that the company lacks consistent structure, ethical leadership, and a clear commitment to fairness. Patterns of favoritism became evident, with certain individuals given leeway and influence far beyond what’s appropriate or productive.
One major challenge I encountered was working under the influence of Stefanie Gifford. In
my experience, her leadership style and decision-making created significant barriers to
success. Her presence often complicated my role unnecessarily, and her influence
appeared to outweigh that of senior leaders, including the CEO, HR Director, and Dr.
Erickson. This imbalance in power and lack of accountability has deeply affected morale and productivity across the company. What was once an exciting opportunity to help build a strong team turned into a moral struggle. I take pride in my work, but it became increasingly difficult to recommend AUC in good conscience. Several recent new hires have shared
dissatisfaction, with some expressing regret about joining the organization. Others
declined interest altogether upon learning that certain leadership remained in place.
AUC has enormous potential and a talented workforce who deserves better and could have
better if leadership prioritized ethics over loyalty. With ethical, balanced, and transparent
leadership, it could be a truly exceptional organization. I hope that the company moves in
that direction for the sake of current and future employees.

Worked here for 2 years as a medical assistant, most of management has no people skills with few exceptions. Some of the managers are straight up jerks if you are sick. It’s laughable to see management promoting their own family to higher positions. Other than that the people are fun to work with. However, management fails to train their workers properly and people are constantly making mistakes due to a lack of training. Also I can’t imagine that you won’t get a job if you apply here because they take anyone as long as you have a MA Certificate. There are people that work here that are legitimately endangering patients well being and despite multiple incidents with the same MA’s they continue to be employed. Management has a hard time focusing on real issues in the back office but god forbid you are on your phone. Also don’t expect management to give you legitimate feedback for your annual review. You may never see the managers in person for months or years but they are going to write an evaluation on your performance? It’s a joke. However, they will continue to get by by hiring fresh out of school MA’s with little training and throw them into the fire overworking everyone and restart the cycle.

I used to work here in the beginning it was nice i loved it after a month it was the worse. There’s a lot of favoritism between managers and employees a-lot of gossip between employees and managers there is a manager that they have out of state im not sure how that works. We are always short staff a-lot of amazing providers left and employees due to the lack of management they will always come at you. This company is a joke to work at unless you are very desperate to find a job this is your last option. It’s always a rollercoaster with mangers. They will promote only lazy people don’t stress on working to hard here because they will never see it they will only be nice when they need coverage and of course if you take it a shift. The moment you have a emergency they won’t care they will still try to make you come in. It is a TOXIC environment at AUC that even your self you start becoming TOXIC. You will never get a morning shift unless your the manager favorite. 

Do not bother wasting your time trying to get a job here. Most people realize the toxic work culture right away. There is no opportunity for growth here and the managers make that very clear. Owners are not trustworthy of others so the people on top keep people from moving up in the company when they should see the gems they have. If they appreciated their workers, they would allow opportunity for growth but the women on top are clearly in fear of giving others the opportunity to shine so the owners do not realize there are people who are more capable and passionate about running the company. The owners need to check the management they currently have if they want to continue to grow and strive.

It’s a good place to get experience but not to stay. 

They like to hire people who have no experience, so you’re constantly running & busy which make the nights go fast.. 

Plus side is you can make your own schedule, if they think it is reasonable and your days off benefit their favorite people. 

Free catered lunch on the Fridays we don’t get paid, unless you’re night crew because they forget about you or leave you the “leftover” lunch from day shift at 10am. 

Management will yell if your break is too long but then proceed to sit in their car for 2 hours. (Seen it done) 

They are also very unprofessional by only hiring and promoting within their tier of friends & family that are hired. 

If you do decided to work here, make sure you have no kids, family or friends because it is the only way you can move up in the company. 

If I was a MD/PA/NP, I would not work nor send any patients to this company. 

The most enjoyable part of the job is the friends that were made, they made the days go by faster. The hardest part of the job is dealing with the management. They micromanage to the extreme. Everyone is always walking on eggshells. You have to "check in" twice a day in different ways to different people as if they do not communicate with each other. Managers take no accountability for anything. There is no communication and tons of secrecy going on there. Administration will always be a joke as long as the Director of Finance is there, they make life impossible. If she does not like the way you do something, she belittles you and calls you names. Then moves you positions so she doesn't have to work with you. The turn over is ridiculous because of that. RUN and don't look back! 

Patients who has PPO insurance and have tested positive with the PCR covid test (2-3 days overturn results) are being called back in office to be “reassessed” just to charge insurance for another visit. They will make you work even if you test positive for COVID and if you’re sick and try to take a couple of days off, they will make you feel obligated to come to your shift. They will tell you that you can make your schedule but once you start working, they will not give you the days off that you need and give you separate days throughout the week as your days off. After management and the leads leave, you cannot call them for help because they will get angry so if you have questions you have to figure it out on your own and get in trouble the following day for not doing it right. 

Management poorly runs the office. Favoritism is played among employees (I.e. better pay, better schedules, working mornings instead of closing every night, preferred location, etc.) I would not recommend working here since all employees are extremely overworked and very underpaid. This job’s only benefit would be a flexible schedule due to having many shifts and hours available to work with numerous locations, however you are paid minimum wage to begin with which isn’t living wage. 

A typical day looks like 100 patients seen at one clinic per day, sometimes more or less by 20. Back office Medical Assisting is charting patient medicine, assisting with procedures and follow up with some lab work and doing a little lab work yourself. You are on your feet most of the day and there is almost no time for breaks. You only get a half hour lunch so it's better to bring your own rather than go buy something. There is little to no benefits working here so don't plan making a career at Accelerated unless you are looking for an administrative job like HR or Management. 

This place is the worst place to have to work for ever, there is favoritism that is done on a daily basis, and on top of that  if you don’t kiss those people who’ve been deemed favorites behinds than you’re lower than dirt. Management will lie to your face and stab you in the back do not work for her, she has no clue how to manage anything, do not work here or go here as a patient if you can help it, it’s not worth it! Find someone where else, they only care about money not their employees. Do yourself a favor and don’t work here. They will accuse you of others mistakes and make you take the blame if it was done by one of the favs
