Pros

Good health/dental benefits, easy to transfer. Benefits are not anything special until you've been an employee for 5 years and then you get a good 401k match and PTO. Starting pay is competitive, but even with great performance review, raises are very small.

Cons

The things customers say when they don't get their way and then how frequently management caves and gives into their ridiculous requests, managers are often inexperienced, workload is ever increasing yet the pay does not match responsibilities or even compete with other companies that generate this level of revenue. Often do not have enough work supplies because "they're expensive" and offsite Genius training was canceled (is Apple going broke??) and so you're forced to learn from the very limited stock of Geniuses at your store who are often mistaken and undertrained. The break rooms in every store I've ever been into are basic and often too small for the number of employees. Too many part time employees. Tons of people call out because they're hungover or just don't feel like coming in and the penalties are minimal, if any. Speaking of, that is another con- most employees are almost constantly micromanaged and undervalued.

Pros

It’s a nice campus, you will spend more than you make if you use the campus facilities. Good location Decent benefits

Cons

Drinking alcohol is encouraged, if you chose your family over going to happy hour, the leadership will hold it against you. I had a young family member pass away from a vehicle accident and was told that, “It is dark that I am bringing it up and was refused time off. There is no sense of customer service, instead you are told to give concessions to appease customers, but than you will receive corrective action for giving concessions away. Coercion and special treatment run rampant depending again on where you fall on their social ladder. There was a representative sitting in 3 inches of water at her desk with exposed electrical outlets due to her being afraid to leave her desk for fear of what the company would do if she chose her personal safety over her job. Even with water flooding the floor from a leaking fire valve. Even building maintenance requested her to move. Best feeling I ever had was to walk out of the doors of the Austin, Tx offices for the last time.

Pros

Above average pay and perks. Decent personal discount on Apple devices

Cons

Very secretive even when it comes to project you are working on. Making it hard to communicate cross functionally. Extremely over crowded, you get invited to meeting that requires driving but when you get there, it's impossible to find parking. Very few team uses web conference making your life very difficult. Overpriced cafe food, most of the items are $9 and some are creeping towards $10~$12. There's no reason to choose cafe over local restaurants since you paid about the same and not particularly convenient. Only selected team gets to go to Apple Campus 2 (Apple Park), and you quickly realize that your team is considered 2nd class citizen because you are not working on flashy features. Help is getting harder and harder to find, because of how expensive Cupertino is getting, and Apple is making it worse, because they continue to build high density housing without invest a single dime to housing. With hiring taking longer, most management rather settle with lower quality hire and getting the rack filled quickly. Which is very disrupted to current work and projects. CEO only fight for causes that'd get him national attention so he can make headline. In reality he doesn't care about any of this. It clearly shows when the company provided zero benefit to local community compares to local tech giant.
