Pros

Nothing at all. See the Cons below.

Cons

Review for Operations 1. Long hours. When you have to work till 2 AM to answer e-mails and calls and wake up at 6AM to attend meetings, it shows that the company culture does not care and respect employees. Companies that allows and and expects employees to work past midnight does not expect anyone. Period. 2. Very cheap company. With over $200 Billion in the bank, it's the cheapest company in the valley. Extracts every drop out of it's employees till you have no time for breakfast and lunch. At the same time, they don't provide free breakfast or lunch or snacks. Did I say cheap? 3. Very expensive cafeteria food at $10 per meal. They do not subsidize the meals. 4. Used to provide free apples. Not anymore. Did I say that they are super cheap? 5. Employees only leave Apple for Google, Facebook. You will never see employees from Google or Facebook. That got to tell you something. It's a sweatshop that does not care for its employees. 6. Oh got to pay to use the gym. Did I mention cheap? 7. Bad company. Very very bad. If you get a job offer, please consider it carefully. It is a sweatshop. They simply cannot get quality candidates Goggle and Facebook. Got to hire cheap labor from outside of California.

Pros

Good pay, nice people and a very convenient job considering you get to work from your own home. They send you a iMac and an iPod which you can use on the job. Schedule is to modify and they let you take on an enormous amount of hours during the busy times of the year. So if you play your cards right you could make a lot of money if you take advantage.

Cons

Job was good for the first few months. I noticed that it started getting really repetitive and started getting irritating. The phones seemed to always be busy and there is only 8 seconds between calls. This was my first experience with a call center type of job and I honestly think the type of job just isn't for me. However, I would think that in regards to other call centers this is definitely one of the best.

Pros

The pros are the interview process is pleasant, and quick. The recruiter and all of the hiring managers I spoke to were all extremely kind and friendly. In addition the pay and benefits are lovely.

Cons

Wow! Where do I begin? First, I am currently a Senior Accounting major who WAS scheduled to graduate in December 2015. I started the Spring 2015 semester but then withdrew after 2 weeks, after receiving notification that I was selected to start training for Apple. In addition to withdrawing from school this semester in order to " work" for Apple, I also quit the job I had for nearly a year in order to be able to " work" for Apple. I already knew that my old job would become a thing of the past due to Apple's better pay and benefits package. - Not only did I withdraw from school, and resign from my old job in order to " work" for Apple; but I also declined another job offer that was made to me, prior to accepting the Apple " job" offer. Training was highly intense. From 9am- 1 pm there were self guided learning modules. And from 2 pm -6 pm there was role playing and advisor guided training. After 2 weeks of training, there was a test, where in order to pass, you must score an 80%. The test is timed with 20 questions on it. About 1/3 of the material on the test was not covered in training. Which is BEYOND unfair. I took the test last night and scored a 70%. I was able to take the " retest" this morning and scored a 75%. At this point I am waiting for the inevitable, for me to be informed I have been " fired". This experience that I've had, I would not wish on my worse enemy. To tell someone they're " hired" by Apple as an at home advisor is a scam. It's all a rat race to reel in as many unsuspecting " applicants" such as myself; issue too demanding exams with unrealistic passing requirements, and then surprise you with the " you're fired" line after 2 weeks! I would not recommend this " job" to ANYONE!
