Pros

They have a nice clean office in a nice building.

Cons

They hire you under false pretenses. To advance here is very hard due to the ever changing rules/goals they make on a day to day basis. They have some good employees, but the ones who make the decision to weather you have a job or not, only care about themselves. You are required to work OT often and they only pay HALF time when you do work OT. (About 7 ish dollars an hour) Daily you wonder if this is the day they will fire you because you didn't mean a certain number. It's unfortunate to put that fear on people who work hard for you. The training is poor and they essentially throw you to the wolves. If you have a bad day you are on the chopping block right away. Meanwhile the Daughter of the owner comes and goes for eyelash extension appointments/trainer appointments, or whatever else she needs done, then returns and barks orders and commands. Bottom line, I worked my tail off for them, I was on call for any of my guys at all hours and was almost always the first to check emails to try to gain new people under me, but it all amounted to nothing in the end. My advice, The turn over is constant, I would recommend not even bothering to apply.

APA Services Response

I'm so sorry that you had a less than excellent experience with APA. The daily, weekly and monthly expectations are absolutely set high for any person in a production role within the organization. Individuals that fail to meet their quota are required to work overtime as outlined and fully disclosed in the interview process. This is a standard business practice in any production environment that strives for excellence. Breaks throughout the day, including lunch, are encouraged at APA Services. We want our recruiters to focus and be "in the production zone” when they are at their desks without distractions including playing games on cell phones. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. We appreciate all feedback and use it to grow and direct our organization culture. Feel free to reach out with any further thoughts or suggestions.

Pros

Almost no pros tbh It is remote that is it

Cons

pay stinks, but you can negotiate up into the high 70s there website says up to 80k culture stinks; work 7 days a week if you don't hit 5 subs, and even if you hit 5 subs you will find yourself working a lot of weekends, late nights, and when you need flexibility back will revive none. - Example: i typically work 745-545pm M-F an hour or two every Saturday and some Sundays; asked for a few hours to handle something told to use PTO. Ineffective and unprofessional managers; Vincent will talk about recruiters and other employees to other employees behind their backs. they sometimes take 2+ days to respond about something you need answered that day. They are all always in meetings like all day. the micro managing is back breaking. oh and health insurance for a family is 2500/month also they do whatever they can to not apy your PTO.
