Pros

Pay Benefits 401K matching Team Mentality Large team to work with

Cons

This company is currently going through a massive transition. The customer service team is getting the brunt of it. Management's hands are tied, they hear you but cannot make any real change. The current role of a "customer service rep" is not accurately titled. What this role is, is much grater than a CSR. For that reason I feel this role is not titled or compensated fairly. They say they are working towards realigning and reassigning responsibilities to even out the work load- but as it is now, this job is not sustainable. Way too much of a workload for one person. Poor work-life balance.

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.
