Pros

Some teams are allowed 1 to 2 days remote work

Cons

Senior management doesn't care about employees HR doesn't care about employees. Only works with senior leadership and never addresses employees concerns Senior leadership forces managers to give bad reviews to employees they want to get rid of down the road Favoritism is blatantly obvious yet continues So many high performers have left and others actively looking, no one sees a future in this company Too many negatives, better to just avoid joining this place

Pros

Exposure to large, high-value accounts and complex operational challenges. The role builds resilience quickly and provides strong experience in account management, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration. There is a high level of ownership in day-to-day responsibilities, which can accelerate skill development for those who are self-driven.

Cons

Since the acquisition by Apollo, the work environment has noticeably declined. While new processes were introduced, leadership often did not take the time to fully understand or follow them, creating confusion and inconsistency across teams. Employees who raised questions or tried to improve processes were not always received positively, which discouraged feedback and innovation. There is also a lack of alignment between departments, leading to inefficiencies, miscommunication, and added pressure on employees managing critical accounts. Workloads are frequently excessive without adequate support, contributing to burnout and turnover. Compensation does not consistently reflect the level of responsibility and workload expected, which further impacts morale and retention. Overall, the organization feels reactive rather than structured, and direction has become increasingly unclear.
