Pros

The lights are still on, there’s still a paycheck that comes on a regular schedule. Not much else these days

Cons

The pay is lower than market average. But that’s always been true. What used to balance it was a friendly atmosphere, candid communication at every level, and a sense that upper management really cared about you. It’s the lowest I’ve ever been paid and it’s the best job I’ve ever had. Or at least it was until last year. Apollo came in and has transformed the culture in a way that every week, seems more and more heartless, demanding, and anxiety-driven as people are becoming more and more afraid of their job security. And with multiple waves of layoffs over the last months, who could blame them? This place used to be amazing and it absolutely breaks my heart to see what it has turned into.

Pros

Culture was amazing before it was acquired by private equity.

Cons

The culture was great (before private equity), which made career advancement a game of social politics.
