Pros

It’s a nice office with comfortable surroundings and a small exercise facility – both Wilsonville & Dallas. Most of the people working at Apcon are smart, capable and great to work with as a team.

Cons

These awesome co-workers tend to figure out they are in a dead end job with no hope for career advancement and decide to move on. The HR department seems to be the only department rewarded with promotions and raises on a regular basis while opportunities for other departments tends to be limited. If you have some great ideas or thoughts for improvement – keep them to yourself. They will go unrecognized or get you fired. Richard the owner is extremely inflexible in his opinions and ideas and is unwilling to give up control on even the minutest decisions. In addition, there is no contingency plan should something happen to this aging owner because he is incapable of allowing other members of the management team to participate in decision making. God forbid he crashes his Ferrari or plane or has a medical event in his advanced age.

The leadership provides clear goals and offers constructive feedback to help employees grow. Additionally, the company invests in professional development through workshops and training sessions, which have been invaluable. The work culture promotes a healthy balance between personal and professional life, and the benefits package is competitive. Cons:

Cons

Honestly, not many. Like any fast-paced environment, there can be busy periods, but the support from the team makes it manageable.

Pros

The people who work at APCON are very nice and knowledgeable.

Cons

The headline says it all. The CEO is a rude, narcissistic bully. His input is never specific or useful, just general mean comments meant to knock employees to their knees. I was out the door as soon as I found another job.
