Central location that is the only thing I can say - please avoid this place

Cons

- arrogant management who are very aggressive - that need to have a look at themselves - they think they are on Wall Street - a back office fund admin - very cheap organization - often a case of no toilet roll. - poor systems -poor pay - glorified titles with little or no pay increase - management that try to push people to the point of breaking point and are so aggressive it can have a serious impact on ones life. - not good for ones mental health - favored terms for ex DB people

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
