Pros
If you are fresh out of college, need to bulk up your resume, and can keep your mouth shut this isn't a bad job for a year.
Cons
-The extremely bigoted and toxic culture that occurs with the top leaders at the company. They make offensive “jokes” and when people try to comment on the inappropriateness the response is "well I coached a gay water polo team so I understand diversity". -They will also ask for feedback, not take it, and in some cases punish individuals that provide feedback they do not like. The lower levels have to “tread carefully” in order to get what they want. I was told multiple times, as a woman, to phrase statements in the form of a question in order to seem like a “less aggressive woman”. -The pure GASLIGHTING of individuals at the company. Lying to their faces about pay and making them feel bad when they push back. They have told people the Glassdoor salaries are inflated when in reality they are not. They were recently written about in the local newspaper because of labor law violations and decided to send an email to the company lying about knowing about the violation when multiple individuals brought it up to leadership multiple times. -They will try to tell you these Glassdoor reviews are just bitter employees but the only people who stay long are upper leadership or have been chosen as the poster children for, “look at how much upward mobility Apex Leaders has!” When I left the average tenure of a Research Associate was about 4 months.
