Decent agency with talented employees.
Svantaggi
There are notoriously toxic teams led by people who seem stuck in a middle-school mean-girl mindset. These teams are plagued by high turnover, stress-related health issues, and unprofessional behavior. Favoritism is rampant, with only the team leaders’ close friends getting promotions, while others quit or transfer. Leadership turns a blind eye to these issues due to the teams’ financial performance. However, this comes at the cost of employee well-being and project success. Often managers seem to be spending more time crafting scathing emails and throwing people under the bus than focusing on client projects. The parent company (Inizio) talks a lot about diversity and inclusion but the reality is that individuals are unfairly made to feel inadequate for not conforming to conventional work methods. If you're considering joining Apothecom, beware of particular toxic teams. Reach out to former employees to get the inside scoop. Most people in the company are aware of the issues. It's a shame, as the company is a decent agency, but the teams' toxic culture overshadows the agency's positives.
