Apprentice Reviews

The company is spending money hand over fist and there is growing concern about the future of the company. I would not accept a job offer here unless they sign a contract promising to keep you certain amount of time. I’ve personally seen people leave very good companies to come work for us to get let go only a few months later after their project is done. It’s ran like high school, popularity is important, and favoritism is prevalent. Senior leadership doesn’t know what they’re doing, the ceo is surrounded by yes men who care more about a paycheck then the life of the company. This is because anybody who challenged the CEO gets fired or punished through other negative measures. You can put makeup on a t@rd and call it pretty but in the end it still a terd. That’s what apprentice is. It looks amazing but when your up close, you realize it stinks.

Where to begin? The brilliant CEO also has no career experience in corporate America, enterprise sales, or software. Every decision is emotional and if you don't agree profusely with everything he says, he'll have an outburst and shut you out for weeks. Check the CEO Approval Rating. His next biggest problem is his cousin as Chief Business Officer, who also has no experience in technology, sales, enterprise, or software. He takes a "used car sales" approach to selling manufacturing software and is disliked not only by employees but by customers as well. The rest of the executive suite is equally poor. Yes-men/yes-women with little career experience. Employees are leaving in droves or being laid off en masse. Most are unhappy; if they stay, it is for the compensation. Unrealistic company goals lead to under-achieving, unhappy employees. Glassdoor reviews are fake - "Cons: None" is a dead giveaway. The "Pros" lead to an obvious burn rate problem. The business plan to raise more money was quashed by the economic downturn, putting the company in a precarious position of not hitting its number.
