Apex Systems Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Apex Systems as a contractor for more than a year

Pros – Professional, and treat employees fairly

Cons – Submitting T/E was a little painful

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Apex Systems full-time for more than a year

Pros – 1. They do a good job making sure you are paid every week as long as you get your time in.
2. Most of the administrative and recruiting staff are nice, professional, and upbeat.
3. The contracting rate is good.
4. When they hired me, everything went smoothly. There was not any "messing" around or unethical behavior which I've encountered with other contracting and staffing companies - i.e. no attempts to change the rate after we came to a verbal agreement and everything was pretty much on the level.

Cons – 1. Benefits are not that great. For example, the 401K takes a year just to qualify for enrollment.
2. The health insurance is not that good. high deductible and only 100K lifetime limit - one or 2 major health events could completely max out the insurance. Dental and other benefits are ok.
3. Not much in the way of employee activities, at least for contractors it seems. The corporate office is near Richmond, Va, but I never get invited to any events or even out to lunch - I'm not even sure if they have a christmas party.
4. Not much communication about what's going on in the company. There is a newsletter once a quarter, but that's about it.

Advice to Senior Management – Provide some better benefits and don't make people wait a whole year for the 401K.

Former Employee – worked at Apex Systems as a contractor for more than a year

Pros – Pay was great.
My recruiter was very supportive, & positive through my two year contract.

Cons – Had to fight to be paid for the holidays listed in my contract.
Some paperwork was misfiled, and there was a lapse in my employment.
Mediocre & expensive benefits.

Advice to Senior Management – Better communication with employee & on site management to ensure documentation & paperwork is filed in a timely & correct fashion.

Current Employee – been working at Apex Systems full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – I've been at Apex Systems for over 3 years and I can't imagine working anywhere else! It's a fun, fast-paced, competitive environment and if you put in the effort to achieve your goals, you are rewarded for it. Your supervisors are always looking to help you grow and develop professionally and the opportunity to advance your career is there!

Cons – Don't have a flexible work schedule

Current Employee – been working at Apex Systems as a contractor for more than a year

Pros – The people seem to really be passionate about their jobs. They are good at what they do, have opinions and there are forums for their voices to be heard. Like in any company that is larger than a startup, sometimes your voice isn't heard right away and you have to standup and speakup but they really try to find good talent and keep the talent they have.

Cons – All the products and visions aren't 100% clear across the company. I feel like a successful company - the vision, product, the goals and what the company offers should be as well known from the CEO all the way down to the receptionist (who is amazing by the way).

Advice to Senior Management – Empower everyone - not just department heads. Have them lead and grow. Sometimes your best talent already exists within your 4 walls. It's just a matter of giving them the tools and motivation to succeed.

Current Employee – been working at Apex Systems as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – As a contractor your are paid weekly.

Cons – Poor health insurance benefits.
You are just an asset not an employee.
Your employee representative may not be around in 3-4 months. The ones that are decent will move out of recruiting or get fired.
You will only receive lip service if you come with a problem about the contract your being subbed to.
