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.

No longer what we used to be

Pros

The lower management is still very focused on ensuring that the people are put first and that the employee is valued. There is an undercurrent inside the company that strives to innovate and continue the legacy of our founder.

Cons

Upper management seems to no longer holds that the individual employee brings value and that they are to be treated with respect or compassion. Many, if not most, decisions appear to be cost based (or at the least heavily related to cost). There is very little room to grow at this point with almost no back fill positions available including managers thus forcing most to remain in their current position for the undetermined future.

There May Be No One Left Before It Gets Better

Pros

The variety of the work used to be great. The benefits are good especially if you are looking for extra education. There was a lot of flexibility for hours and work location. The company used to have great values and direction, but...

Cons

The leadership was taken over by people more concerned with their own resumes and cronies. Good talent is leaving left and right and no one is stopping them.
