Best Places to Work: Advanced Cabling Systems

Advanced Cabling Systems works to ensure it hangs onto its best employees with a number of perks, including great insurance benefits.

Employees of the company are eligible for a health insurance with a $0 deductible. Advanced Cabling Systems, which specializes in the installation and service of systems such as structured cabling, fire alarm systems, audio and video and intrusion detection, also buys $15,000 in life insurance for each employee.

Other benefits include a “no-vacation vacation policy” for salary-exempt employees. As long as work gets done, employees can take off work as much as they need.

To help employees with stress-relief, ACS has a game room in its headquarters, complete with a ping pong table, foosball table and darts. Each year the office has an annual chili cook-off and quarterly breakfasts are prepared by managers and served to technicians.

Trips to an Arkansas Travelers baseball game, an escape room, paintball competitions and other activities assist with team building.

Educating employees in formal diversity training is important to ACS. Management asked an attorney to come in and explain what it means to be a diverse workforce, give sensitivity training and educate employees on ways to avoid discrimination.
