Its all about cost cutting

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is a time pass company, meaning you come to office and leave office with or without any contribution no one really knows what you are doing.

Cons

Unlimited vendor spending but cost cutting for office supplies which might cost you negligible compared to vendor spending New job titles gets created just because one of their friend is needed Spin a new sub entity because current executive do not see any growth for him/her

This is a company in transition...I hope they survive the diversified revenue model they're attempting to transition to.

Business Outlook

Pros

There are a lot of truly talented people that work for Apollo...even some of those that work at a C-level.

Cons

Unfortunately, that they're in transition. The company has taken on a clinical feel, where the staff working for and contributing to Apollo's successes seemingly mean very little. Staff at Apollo are not viewed as assets, contributing to the company's success. Leadership does nothing to show staff that they are valued members of the company. Training and development within the company is seriously lacking; those budgets continue to get cut forcing staff to obtain/maintain their cerfications of their own accord. A disconnected bunch of C-level execs.

Business Outlook

Pros

They care about employees They care about students All while having to care about both stock prices and long-term growth They are now trying to become a products company, which doesn't fit into their original mission (both pro and con)

Cons

Over-regulated (being the biggest is hard) Many parts of the company still operate like a small company The stigma of UOP is hard to shake They are now trying to become a products company, which doesn't fit into their original mission (both pro and con)
