Pros

Decent FTO program, good for entry level grads and people who like a hybrid work role. Work is steady and people have a lot of tenure here. Some people get lucky and don't do anything all day!

Cons

Turnover rate is definitely a problem. Reasons could be that there is a lot of first time managers with hardly any experience on how to actually lead or develop their subordinates. Unprofessional at times with how anything is handled from top to bottom with no clear direction from immature leaders and employees are kept in the dark. Nepotism and favoritism run rampart in this company and management thinks others do not notice the unjust behavior. A lot of finger pointing and blame game create a culture of mistrust and being honest is construed as being problematic.

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.
