Pros

Work function itself is relatively pleasant and presents adequate challenges. General staff employees are nice. Work-life balance can be achieved.

Cons

Recent months some employees were left go with reasons that were not being entirely transparent or communicated honestly by management. They were being promised with job security and shortly after they were being left go. The morals have been discouraging and toxic to team members who stayed at the company. Management intention to improve/repair moral by creating outside-work-hour activities is almost a ironic. Staff employees are not encouraged to learn new skills that could be applicable for improving job functions and thinking outside-the-box is not advocated

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.
