Report
I worked there from 2007 to 2015, very much started from their early age. It was good before when the owner still focused on business. Then it turned sour, then worst, that when the owner didn't care much anymore. Thing was not improving and the employees were exploited to the bones. That when I see no future at APEX anymore, I left at 2015. He still owned me about $2500.00 of expense that I don't think I can get it back.
