Pros

Better pay than most retail jobs Very good benefits, even for part timers Employee stock purchase plans Decent discounts Easy to move and get a job at another location You work with a lot of people who are intelligent and willing to help you if need it

Cons

Management. management. management. It's a challenging job with a lot of pressure and stress already and probably the worlds most horrible customers.. and having a management team that doesn't care about you and overlooks all of the hard work you've put into the company just makes the job unbearable. You start off thinking you're at this magical place and you feel so lucky to be working there- then after a few years you feel so depressed you start to contemplate quitting every day until you finally do it. Apple made me a very unhappy person.

Pros

-Work from home -Insurance is awesome and starts your first day! -Great pay and benefits

Cons

- It is impossible to get a normal 9-5 weekends off shift. You will be working weekends, holidays (including Christmas), and a TON of overtime. - They pressure you hard to work overtime. They make it clear you won't get a promotion or a good review if you don't work overtime. -You have no support when you are having rough calls. You just have to sit on the phone and let the customer verbally abuse you. -They do not train enough in higher positions. When you ask for help they promise you they will get help but it never happens. -When you get really sick you are forced to take a medical leave and they won't work with your schedule. -They will not adjust your schedule for kids, school or anything unless you jump through hoops to get a doctors note for medical reasons. -They get really aggressive when your scores are perfect even if it is just a bad month. - Bathroom breaks are saved for during your 15 min break or lunch break. Hold it otherwise. -If you find that you can not handle a promotional roll they will not let you move back to an older position. They tell you to stick with it or quit.

Apple isn't what it used to be.

Pros

The employees are top-notch. Great discounts on products.

Cons

Apple is now a bureaucratic nightmare. It is now in a death spiral of not innovating and not leading the industry. They are kicking back on their accomplishments and putting all their eggs into the iPhone basket.
