it has been awful due to new management/supervisor. There is a lot of drama that goes on and the management is against its employees and only believes what the main supervisor says, even if its false. There is barley any respect and its all about the main supervisor, who takes credit for anything good an employee does. It is a super hostile work environment and you are always blamed for something. They never look at the positives the employees do, only negative. I do not recommend working here unless you are ok with being talked down too and disrespected by management. They throw you too the wolf's right off the bat and expected to know everything Immediately. And employees are Put by themselves with barley any training or supervision frequently. So if you enjoy being talked town too, talked trash behind your back and being forced to work longer shifts alone then this is the awful job for you!

they are so understaffed because they are working us to death. Since we are understaffed, management gives us double the workload, which shouldn't be the answer. They should find ways to keep employees, especially in the data entry department because my department relied on them to finish their work so that we could get started on ours. On my last day, I worked 16 hours. Don't expect this job to be an 8-hour shift because you can't leave until your work is done. I have seen so many people skip their breaks and lunches because of the amount of work that is given to them and I don't blame them. I feel like management knows about this issue because it is so obvious but I don't think they care.

At first they seem really interested to help you find a job. Then, they just stop contacting you. You are just a number to them. They don’t care where they place you in an assignment, they just want to get paid. I went to interviews that had nothing to do with my degree, what a waste of time. I had to constantly email them everyday to ask if they found any jobs for me because they just would forget about me. The communication is horrible. My recruiter left and no one decided to tell me, so I would email her and call her and never received an answer. I recommend finding a different agency to work for. They offer zero benefits and when your assignment ends they don’t have the decency to even call you. They do it through an email.

This is the most unprofessional people I have worked with without the decency to reply to any of my emails, calls and voicemails regarding my concerns. The biggest issue I had was that them pulling taxes from my paycheck which I am exempted from, meaning I am getting underpaid weekly. I understand it is something amenable but the problem is their lack of cooperativity. Mind you, these people called me almost every single day for a month to check on my work permit status before starting the job. Once I started, they completely ignore me. This is unacceptable.

Apex life sciences only cares about getting a spot filled at one of the labs they recruit for. Once you’re in, anything they told you about being there for you is out the window. Once you’re in the labs, some of the managers like to hold it over you that you’re a contracted worked and can be terminated at any time. When I left some changes in management at the labs was happening, but on the apex side, there was a new contact almost daily and they don’t communicate with each other so whenever you have to call them for anything expect to wait 10 minutes for whoever you get to find your file. They also don’t offer very much compensation for the work you actually end up doing and they undersell that by A LOT.

company was horrible to work for. so first i was working and hired through apex for the Cargill salt mine company. but then i found out there was another company in between them. Cargill has some of the most disrespectful full time employees ive ever met in my life they didn't ant to do anything except sit and drive forklift and then everything that happened was a temp person fault even if we weren't around. only 2 days of call in time or you were fired. just terrible place to work and i would not recommened this job to anyone.

I started working here almost 5 months ago with a raise promised "soon." After 4 months the raise finally came through but still isnt quite enough to live comfortably. 
There is no PTO, no sick days, and no employees to help cover in the event of a call off.
They recently let go multiple employees with little warning. They now have less employees with everyone else making up the work. 
It's a good place to start a quality check career, but not a long term position by any means.

There was an even mix of good at bad working at Apex. I enjoyed the work, but sadly did not get to communicate face to face with my clients or candidates. Communication through out the team was strong due to all of us sitting in different offices throughout the states. I think if the whole team had sat together in one office though I would have stayed for longer and possibly had more success. That is not to say someone else won't have success here. If you listen to your teammates and management, you will learn and do well.

Excellent job for someone who only wants to work part time and have Fridays off.
Enjoyable work and stress free. Warm and friendly coworkers.
Head of our discussion panel works for MMR Research. He was an excellent leader, an expert in his field and an overall really great guy.
Loved coming to work but unfortunately need to make more money with two in college this coming year.

Apex insurance is sky high like $200/ week for a single person insurance. I worked fro atara bio. Research associate... We were under paid and shorted hours...Originally supposed to be full time but we have been getting 30-35 sometimes less. They are not going to hire permanently the company is from cali stationed in memphis. They plan to take all work back to cali. Waste of time regardless of how great you are at your job.
