ZERO. WORK/LIFE. BALANCE. ZERO underlined, and in bold. Good luck trying to ever get a shift covered in the likely event that you need to have a certain day off. Full Timers do not get to pick a designated day off, rather, they only get a "preferred" day off which is never granted.
You cannot have any weekend days off. You must have full and open availability. Part Timers must have 4 days of full availability... which makes it impossible to be a full time student and have a job with this place.
You will get sick A LOT. They do not use anything even close to something that sterilizes when cleaning... Oh and don't sit on those little squishy ball seats at the kids table... We call them "pee-balls" for a reason...
You will be constantly micro-manged to the point it's hard to tell if they're actually harassing you.
You will get zero training time and expected to know everything about the latest software and hardware.
You will be constantly running around like a chicken with it's head cut off helping multiple people, answering STUPID questions that could've been simply googled from customers and coworkers.
There is little to no opportunities for growth. Unless you become the managers little pet and bend to their every whim, then MAYBE you'll get an interview for something, but end up losing out to an external hire.
Lastly, you will not be valued there. You are just a mere cog in the big corporate machine that is Apple. They can easily replace you regardless of how much time, blood, sweat and tears you gave to that place.
The Apple culture that made the company so awesome and unique no longer exists. It has been long gone. It died in 2010.
