Apex Systems Employer Reviews

Apex Systems is a well respected staffing vendor that has developed a good model to assist their clients search for candidates. The company itself does not do anything unique to distinguish itself from it'se competitiors but does a good job of finding hard working indiviudals to work for them. The co-workers themselves were the greatest asset as managements – more...  work was lacking. The hardest part of the job was understanding what to expect management to evaluate your performance if you do not have the best client. The most employable part of the job was finding qualified candidates with honest well paying roles. – less

I received my job after only a telephone interview. The match was a good one. I enjoy the work and the people and appreciate the help Apex provided in getting me the job.

I loved working for Apex because they found me a quality position as a contractor for the military at LetterKenny Army Depot in Chambersburg, PA while my husband was stationed there in 2008. However, the pay was extremely low and the management on the job site were horrible to us and when I informed Apex it seemed they did little to nothing to change – more...  this. – less

Great Benefits, job security and flexibility. Offer volunteer work to provide opportunities for others.

The management was able to work with me about schedule conflicts when my sister underwent intense brain surgery allowing me the time off to tend to her needs.

The personnel at Apex are very nice to work with, they do not have good insurance benefits for contractors, but they do have a great employer contributed 401K and IRA.

A very unstable and stressful place to work, has a very high employee turnover and a horrible training program. You are thrown to the lions and whether or not you stay depends completely on the reqs you are assigned to. Its a good place to make ends meet until you are able to find something more stable.

overall good company to work for. Very supportive with military lifestyle.

Apex is a good company. They are a small company, which I like because it's always easy to get in contact with somebody when ever you need them!!

I worked for Apex as a temp employee on the NMCI project and really enjoyed it. They no how to treat their employees. The only draw back is the job security, the project I was on was only for a year, and then if EDS did not hire me on, I was out of work. Every other temp with the other agencies was hired on directly but I was not.

I enjoyed working for Apex. They offered great benefits as a full-time contractor. I would work for this company again if work is available within my area.

Offer great benefits fo their contractors along w/ a 1,450 hour contract

For every 2 people they hire 1 is fired. They have a horrible hands off training program that consists of mostly powerpoints and conference calls. Once they've taught you nothing in the 4 weeks of training, you are put on unqualified or extremely difficult reqs and held to the same standards, and have to meet the same goals, as their senior and professional – more...  recruiters who have have an extensive candidate list and 5-7 years of experience under their belt. There are a lot of inexperienced account managers that play favorites and put out unqualified reqs, making it nearly impossible to get a sub, not to mention the office is made up of mostly sorority girls who have known each other for years, making the dynamic over there very cliquey and political.
It is all about your numbers over there and if you don't hit the goals they set for you, you no longer have a job. This results in a lot of sneaky, selfish, and almost ruthless behavior instead of the team environment that they boast about in the interview. If you meet their initial goals they raise the bar, then if you meet those goals they raise the bar again until it gets to the point where the goals are impossible to meet and then you are fired.
Also their corporate recruiter who calls you will tell you the hours are 8-5/M-F but in reality its more like 7:30 - 7:00.
They basically throw you to the lions and expect miracles to happen and when you can't perform miracles you get fired. If you do get hired push to be part of the financial pod, the South Carolina region, or the Duke Energy Team. – less

They really were interested in you as a person. Treated you like a friend. Great people. Great firm values.

Nothing but professional service; Staff was responsive to all administrative needs; Hiring process was quick and thourough

AN EXCELLENT PLACE TO WORK. ANY ISSUES THAT CAME UP WERE ONLY A PHONE CALL AWAY TO TAKE CARE OF. THEY WERE LIKE A FRIEND AND SEEMED MORE INTERESTED IN TAKING CARE OF ME THAN GOODRICH LIGHTING, THE COMPANY THEY PLACED ME WITH.

I would recommend working at Apex Systems Inc. From their upper management down to the District Managers, they give you the tools for success.
