Pros

A few cool coworkers, wfh option (temporarily), okay direct manager, some staff and sales team at other locations were nice and great to work with

Cons

Tons of favoritism, only care about bottom line, left to clean up others messes that should have been dealt with months ago, as soon as your are settled into your routine get ready for a shakeup, corporate is all smiles when the lights and camera are rolling but there are serious issues that need to be dealt with all the way up the chain. Overloaded and underpaid.

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.
