Pros

starting pay, salary PTO benefits.

Cons

The corporate Ohio office is in charge of everything yet they are out of touch with the other districts. Phoenix has no in office HR person so good luck getting any HR related issue resolved in a timely manner if at all. They say dont hesitate to bring up issues that are a safety concern or poor work ethic but no one does because there are consequences for doing so. Huge problem in Ohio and it affects all the other offices because most of the higher ups for other offices are running things from Ohio. Higher ups only start acting like supervisors or managers when they are threatened and after the acquisitions from Apollo they are finally doing their jobs but they haven't been for so long that they are detached and making poor decisions.

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.
