Good Apple Reviews

I got crushed by my workload at Good Apple. While most others at the agency seemed happy, I simply could not keep up without stressing over getting my work done effectively. I had several occasions where I felt I needed support from my managers. Where I clearly voiced that I was not doing well with my workload. And I didn't get the support I needed to stay. I brought this up with several managers (and HR) and while they were sympathetic, they acknowledged that nothing could be changed in the short-term. The stress led me to a place where I wanted to stay, for the people, the culture, and the work opportunity, but I knew I could not handle the stress and workload further. And there seemed to be nothing to be done other than to tell my boss "I'm about to leave if things don't change." The volume of weekly reports, communications, deadlines, and meetings was beyond my capacity. And that made my overall experience at the agency poor. The agency puts client service first. And of course, that is the way we keep the lights on. But for me, the level of service required was beyond my personal capacity. And it negatively impacted my wellbeing. Perhaps I am simply not cut out for agency life. I don't know, I am afraid to work at another. It's possible you, the reader, may not be either. Remember that before you go into it.

Poor management. Zero leadership. Young organization that cannot compete with the big dogs in the same industry. Employees suffer from minimal support and long work hours for exteremely low pay.
