Pros

I honestly can't give any pros, other than people, who will all eventually be gone.

Cons

Management, the problems start at the top and the management here is truly sad. Not one person knows anything about leadership or responsibility, but they know plenty about back biting and deflecting responsibility. They use a system that is 30 years old, which makes everything you do exhausting (it takes ten steps to do one thing). The facilities are old, not updated and not well maintained. Health hazards and this place as a whole is a mental health hazard!

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.
