What is the best part of working at the company?
Great place to work if you are looking to be sucked in with false promises and then micromanaged to death. There are so many layers to this company that the only factors they can judge you by our numbers of certain things, they don't care about success or accounts they just care about being able to show the next person up the chain something on paper as far as frequency. You will spend hours and hours each week explaining what you did to four different people on Zoom meetings and phone calls.
Zero autonomy and vision.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The 5 to 8 hours a week explaining the exact same thing about every aspect of what you are doing and how you did it on Zoom meetings and phone calls to 3 different arrogant, hostile groups. They don't care about success, all they really focus on is how many different numbers in this column and how many different numbers in that column. You are an accountant.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Hostile and micromanaging. There are so many layers that all want answers about the exact same thing that everyone is paranoid.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Answering more questions about what you are doing as opposed to actually doing it.

Was hired by the company as a branch manager.  Was tasked with finding technicians, office building and making contact in the field to inform prospects that new branch was being developed in the area.  Found the company 5 phenomenal crane technicians that we scattered out to other branches... 2 of which quit due to lack of follow through on positions and opportunities that they were promised during the hiring process.  Was told to "hold off" on finding an office building.  In the meantime, was establishing relationships with large, fortune 500 companies.  Had to turn down major jobs due to the inability of skill sets to perform. Position was terminated two weeks after the passing of my mother with no severance... nothing.  Your call... sound like somewhere you would trust the security of your family with?

You can play Ping Pong, so long as you keep your 'numbers up', but cant work from home.  Even some Salaried folks come in and Clock in on the Time Clock.
1-4 folks in each of the 8 Glass Offices and 3 huddle Rooms provides additional entertainment, but not a lot of privacy or personal space.
10 'Rising' desks, in the big sales open area, pushed up against each other provides for very loud environment when folks get on the phones. The Three Monitor Setups and the Rising desks provide some buffer and flexibility, but it is an interesting environment.
Management is finding its way.  
ACE Provides Good Equipment to its employees, from the Technicians - Very nice Company Trucks and iPhones all the way through the Desks, Laptops and computer setups in the offices.
Workforce is Very Diverse and Cultures are shared across the various departments and groups, so it is interesting at times.

Ace is completely smoke and mirrors. They claim to be a family owned and operated company however the “team” support is essentially non existent. Some branch managers have worked their techs 24hrs plus strait because they can’t find anyone to work for them (a couple of branches). They will use you as much as they can then let you go no matter if you have been there a week or 20 years. They don’t like “rumors and stirring the pot” but the owners and management have no problems doing it themselves. They are more than happy to lie to your face with a smile. They will listen to your issues then do NOTHING  about them. Like I said all smoke and mirrors. 

A typical day in this position was strictly data entry. I entered information from OSHA forms into a database. I learned that what one person believes to be insignificant can be very important in the long-run. Management was very open-minded, extremely smart and easy to get along with every day. The co-workers were hard workers and worked well together as a team. Most of them had been working together for many, many years. The most enjoyable part of this job was getting caught up on the OSHA documents and being able to work at a comfortable pace.

This company presents itself as a family first company but in reality this company is ran on gossip and the rumor mill. The ownership governs on the inherent fear of termination to guide the troops. employees are under a constant barrage of down talking and insults from managers and long term employees who have massive entitlement issues. Ownership turns a blind eye to interoffice problems for the sake of progress thus subjecting good employees to stress and having to walk on eggshells. There is no flow of command within the company infrastructure long term employees look run down and are just there to hide and collect a paycheck.

Expected to make 50 plus calls a day and it’s not your typical accounting office.
If anything I learned was credit reviews and calling for credit information. 
Management overall is horrible and it was discovered that there is retaliation if you go against them. It has happened and the owner did very minimal. Then tried to make excuses and turn things around. 
Showing up to deal with manager but the job was boring and you call the same customers each week to hassle them for money. Credit manager wanted the department ran like a collection agency. 
The enjoyable part was a working with a few employees.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Coworkers seeing the country going to different companies 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Dealing with the manager if change was made at that position at the Cincinnati branch it would be an awesome place to work stop the daddy daughter family combo

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Like I said it's a great place needs to stop the micromanaging and care more for the employees just another number

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work and run till you drop and run some more and more


Overall okay place to work. Management and Human Resource Department are not professional at all. They gossip a lot and with people outside of their departments. Not a lot of room for growth. However, co-workers are nice. Vendors send a lot of food. Seems like owners get rid of the hard workers, listening to others, unfortunately. Office layout has 2-3 people in a office that is glass. No privacy. Ran by egotistical man who was a salesman but now runs the company (whom never ran a company ever). Work is not hard.


Great place to work. Strong sales leadership with room for growth. I relocated to FTW in 2013 and found Ace through a mutual connection in the industry. During my tenure at Ace, I always felt like I was part of family and enjoyed coming to work everyday with my colleagues. Sales management will dive in the trenches with you and give you all the tools you need to be sucessful. I left in 2019 to start a new venture or I would still be working here today.
