Pros

The people you work with are super nice and supportive. Good team. Every location is different, however this location has good management. Company offers great benefits.

Cons

Since the company is so big and all over the world, not everyone does everything the same. A lot of things get pushed onto Customer Service which can be super stressful. Company has changed since it has gone public, more pressure on everyone. If you were interested in moving into Sales they would send you to another state to train for 6 months then where ever they need you that is where you would go, you don't really have a choice. Also, they prefer to hire someone external who has no knowledge on the accounts or system versus someone internal who knows the system and the customers. Which makes you feel as if you're not good enough to move up.

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.
