Pros

There are good people working here and plenty of social opportunities. The healthcare benefits are quite nice and the company provides sponsorship for the ICSA qualification (provided you have worked for the company at least 1 year). The Company pays overtime at a 1:1 rate, regardless of when the overtime occurs.

Cons

Salary and bonuses are well below market rate, salary increases are minimal to unnoticeable. Having too few staff per team is common and the Company pushes back on all attempts to rectify this causing plenty of overtime. Poor communication from higher up the chain, things just happen and staff are informed afterwards. Disparity of salary between staff is very common, to the point where more experienced staff in a higher position may be getting paid less than those they are training. Any discussions in this regard are pushed down the road and not answered for as long as possible.

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
