Pros

The people and culture are great. Especially wonderful when working with engineers who are passionate about their work and will take the time to teach you.

Cons

Your work life balance was good only if your work was your life. There was never time to take a vacation.

Pros

I love this company. The teams are great and I had great leadership in the time I have been with Apple. We have amazing medical, Dental and vision as well as a lot of other amazing benefits that I can't really go into.

Cons

There is very little room for advancement into leadership. Internal movement upward is virtually unrealistic. At-Home-Advisors have schedules for 90 days and then you bid. This makes it impossible to plan your life beyond 90days. Also the customer base is 50% self entitled clowns that feel it is ok to belittle you and yell at you for trying to help or that think Apple has a responsibility to solve 100% of their issues and you have to be the perfect ( )( ) kisser so that you don't get a bad review. They also overlook people with high levels of experience and higher education. The term under employed would fit these people.

Pros

- The people you work with are without a doubt the most incredible, passionate, interesting, talented, intelligent people you will work with in your life. - The company has an amazing philosophy in regards to its effect on the environment, it's passionate towards individuality, and has a desire to make the work a better place. - Working here will open doors throughout your career, both within and outside of Apple. People are always interested when they hear you work for Apple. - Busy environment - there was never a day spent waiting for things to happen. This made the days go quickly and I went home knowing that I had achieved something that day. - Employees are looked after well, with fitness and health reimbursements, good discount, and personal support for any issues faces within life. - During busy periods i.e. launches and holiday seasons, you are kept motivated and looked after by the leadership team. - The opportunity to try out new roles both within retail and corporate. - Excellent environment for open communication and feedback. - The ability to develop yourself is phenomenal here, particularly for students and graduates.

Cons

- Although when compared to other retail jobs the pay is higher than average, when you assess the work and effort you put into each role, the general consensus is that staff are underpaid. However, roles within management have an excellent pay. - Busy - not a great environment to work in whilst ill, or going through personal issues. On days like these work can be relentless. - Customers spend a lot of money on Apple products, and quite rightly when things go wrong they aren't too happy with this. Dealing with people in this situation is not easy and can be extremely tiring. - Job has become quite measures bases. Apple has lost it's original core value of creating great experiences. It is now heavily focussed on revenue and iPhone upgrade. - As with any retail role the hours are very unsociable. It is difficult to plan any personal social activity in advance due to a lack of knowledge of which day you will have off.
