Pros

I got to see how bad a working environment can be

Cons

Everything from the management to the toxic environment. They didn't have enough toilets so at times we had to use toilets in bars. The salary is good but was no where near enough to make it worth while. The environment is toxic. They failed a lad on probation but rang him a day later to come back because someone else quit. Everyone I know told me not to take the job. 2 months into my role with apex I was applying for other roles. On my team of 10 6 people left in 5 months. They only good thing about this company is any time I meet someone who worked there we get a laugh out of how bad it was that's it!! Never again!

Pros

There are good people throughout the organization who genuinely want to do quality work and support one another.

Cons

My experience was that Apex Group prioritized short-term cost savings (involuntary terminations) over investing in its people's on-the-job training, promotion opportunities, compensation & bonus pay, and morale/culture Turnover was significantly higher than I expected, particularly in key functions and at the Functional Head, Regional Head, or C-Suite level Prospective employees should carefully review their offer letter regarding probationary period-related employment notice periods & benefits eligibility (you can only enroll in the 401K once you've worked there for 3 months) During my time there, employee morale was low. Progressions/promotions, as swell as compensation growth and bonus opportunities were minimal due to frequent pressure to 'do more with less,' leading to voluntary resignations, employee burnout, and client attrition due low quality service If you are interviewing, I would encourage you to ask direct questions about probationary notice period, turnover, and leadership changes in the last year Based on my experience, I would not recommend anyone works at this firm
