Pros

The benefits are fantastic and the corporate culture is pretty relaxed. The company's success has provided stable employment opportunities to thousands and continues to grow through tough economic times.

Cons

Apollo Group is far from perfect, but I have seen a lot of positive changes since Chas Edelstein came on board. I feel that the majority of our company's problems stem from inexperienced (and often uneducated) middle management.
