Pros

The program is pretty good, and they offered good hourly rates for part time staff. The work itself is pretty enjoyable. Managers are friendly. If you're looking to build some experience working in many different areas, Apollo will give you a lot of experience really quick. Urban, suburban, private, public, low, middle, and high income, you'll see it all in your region.

Cons

Jumping from school to school is difficult and draining. Lack of centralized structure puts a lot of pressure on area coordinators to go everywhere and do everything. Upper managers are friendly, but could not offer the in person support needed in tough times as they spread themselves to many markets to generate business and revenue.

Cons

To the response on review posted on July 12, 2022. The fact that educator pay range went from $21-$24 to $17-$22 is still not addressed. Why is there a paycut when inflation is at all time high? Also, Apollo Afterschool received almost $227,000 in PPP loans and was forgiven yet none of the staff saw that. During my time there it was clear that the company was trying to see how much staff they can cut while taking the profit for themselves. This left us at running a skeleton crew for almost the whole school year and we were left with each staff having more than the required ratio. Also, it was clear that some wage theft was involved. Certain area coordinator, especially some that works remote from Florida, made terrible business decision and could not lead. I truly want to believe that the program at that specific location was better this school year but going from a $21-$24 pay range to $17-$22 is an insult.
