Pros

they take the phishing and cyber security threats seriously

Cons

not a place to grow or enjoy unless you decide to be a 'yes man'. The boomer's leading sales and operations teams are so resistant to change that it hurts the business. Instead of evolving with new technology and tools, they are just adding steps to the already broken processes. The data is a mess. This leads to nobody trusting the commission structure. The directors, especially with inside sales is toxic. No one trusts a word from them. It is somewhat a 'bullying' culture that HR enables.

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.
