Hard working teams frustrated by constant reorganization

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits are awesome, it is a very relaxed environment and no one is watching over your shoulder. Accountability is kept through achievement

Cons

Infrastructure changes and poor choices in those changes. There were constant organizational structure changes aka "reorgs".

Sinking ship - get out while you can

It employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Depending on the team you work with, you could find incredible supportive colleagues and direct supervisors interested in ensuring you grow. Good vacation and holiday policies, flexible hours (depending on team).

Cons

Due to mismanagement, incompetence, and running the sales side of the company like a high-pressure sales scam for most of its existence, Apollo is losing at least 15-20% of revenue and enrollment year over year every single quarter. Leadership and execs are more interested in meeting arbitrary financial targets than the satisfaction of customers and clients and will lay off whoever it takes to make that goal. CIO and IT leadership team is especially inept at realizing you can't cut your way to quality service delivery. If you work here currently or decide to get a job here, don't. Get out while you can because you will be considered expendable. It doesn't matter if you are student-facing, IT, support team, faculty, etc. Your leadership will have no hesitations about laying you off to ensure they can keep their bonuses.

Can we outsource any more important to the business jobs?

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Apollo used to be the place to work. Everyone who wanted a challenge and innovative place to work wanted to work here. Now, all the company cares about from its IT management is how do we outsource to save our hides.

Cons

The CIO outsourced some of the best talent in the business that had been with the company for years to save a little face and keep his bonus secure. The IT dept will be run by offshore people in no time.
