The CEO is a narcissistic lunatic

Pros

Not one good thing - move along there are other companies out there far better than APCON.

Cons

The headline pretty well sums it up. I worked directely for this lunatic just under 3 years. It was the worst 3 years of my life. I’m very resilient and have “thick skin”. No person should ever put up with what I did. Frankly I’m surprised this CEO with his horrific behavior doesn’t have lawsuits against him. The reviews posted are a true reflection of what it’s like to work at APCON and for Richard the CEO. Of course the reviews with the rainbow affect were a result of him strong arming his few loyal followers. I don’t enjoy writing about such negativity- but I’d hate for others go thru what I did.

Beware-everything you hear about the CEO is true

Pros

Good technology, decent work environment

Cons

I have seen first hand the CEO in action. I feel for those who have to report to him directly. Do not be fooled to come work here. Your life will be miserable if you have to work with the CEO. It may start out okay, but eventually the true colors of the CEO will come out. And it won't be pleasant.

Pros

I met a few very nice and genuine people here. I also gained some new skills. That's literally it.

Cons

This is a toxic and negative environment to work. I worked here less than 6 months because I couldn't take it anymore. If you have any sort of dignity do not work here. If you do not suck up to Richard and kiss his butt hardcore you will not be liked and made to feel invaluable. He is also VERY moody and rude. His comments as well are inappropriate. Mistreatment of employees is accepted and ignored. HR listens (I think) or at least they pretend to listen really well (in person), but nothing is done to improve the negativity of the workplace. All I have are negative experiences to report aside from the 2-4 genuine people I met. Everyone else is not trustworthy. They will screw you over, snitch and tattle tale, so ALWAYS whisper to whomever you talk to. Even if it is about your dog or what you had for breakfast. 98% of the people are out to screw you over so they can get in Richard's good graces. As a matter of fact, don't talk to anyone. If you choose to work here put your head down, do your work, suffer from 8-5, and then go home, have a drink, and return to the misery the next day. Anything you say will be taken out of context and reported to Richard furthering his cold treatment to you. If you want to work here, pucker up! You must kiss Richard's butt to be successful. I have so much more, but I think Glassdoor might cut me off for writing too much...

As the company grows there are many opportunities to learn new skills, grow your role and make a difference. To maintain a professional working environment for everyone our managers together with the HR department foster an open door policy and encourage employees to raise issues or concerns.
