Prós
Excellent training, refined processes and great introduction to the staffing industry. The company is doing great as a whole, although my office was way behind company performance averages and suffered serious morale issues. It has a young go-getter culture with occasional fun events for employees. However, Apex will take advantage of people's lack of industry knowledge and ambitions, making them think it is great there when I can tell you they are WAY behind their competition in how their people are treated/compensated.

Horrible pay scale relative to the staffing industry, a lot of saying one thing then doing another (e.g. overtime pay - yeah we pay overtime! haha don't even try). Constant micromanagement like I've never seen, "ra-ra-ra!" grey corporate environment with almost no investment in their offices or their people. I once sat in a 30-minute meeting in the middle of the day so my boss could explain, and then demonstrate the "proper" way to roll up the sleeves of our shirts...yes this actually happened. Just when you thought the type of soul crushing corporate culture satirized in movies like Office Space was gone, rest assured it's alive and well at Apex.
