Pros

50% off Apple Watch in first year

Cons

Weaponized secrecy. Don’t worry 10 other people are doing exactly the same thing, but none of you know it. Charity? I help to produce amazing products you test, what more do you want? I can’t relate to you, please tune your reality distortion machine to match my frequency. You want help? I thought I would spam the entire company because I can’t find help, but I could find a cool sounding DL. (Please unsubscribe me... no seriously... please) It’s the Apple way. Shut your mouth for the first year. Do only what you are told. Do it quickly and at volume. Do not question. Please sir may I have some more? We make ads with quirky people who really don’t work here. Bring your high school backpack to work. We hire smart people to tell us what to do, but then we don’t listen or provide feedback and then fire them if it goes sideways because god forbid anyone who should be accountable really is. We hire Senior Management based on how few decisions they can make, little clarity they provide, but especially how much they can degrade anyone lower than them and still find time to suck upward.

Pros

The benefits are the only pro. Great healthcare, 401k, employee discount, decent pay

Cons

Schedules change and the available shifts are never consistent. In over 5 years, nobody would explain how you rank for shift bids, so you never knew what you’d get. HIGH STRESS! This isn’t a job for people prone to anxiety/depression. Working from home causes isolation issues, add the job stress you have the perfect mental health crisis. I don’t know one long-term AppleCare employee that didn’t take a leave of absence for mental/physical health. Typical call center metrics and monitoring. Once you hit Sr. Advisor, that’s as far as you can go from home. They’ll say there a multitude of opportunities but that’s not true. They do offer a Team Manager apprentice. So you get to do the job of an AppleCare manager but you don’t get paid for it. This job is nothing but another glorified call center job.

Pros

in many cases the other employees are brilliant and fun (try to avoid the obnoxious and arrogant ones) and it is a nice environment

Cons

managers are under immense pressure to meet deadlines and keep costs low so they bully and belittle their employees trying to threaten us into more work. The company innovates so fast that they cannot train employees, the hire for the best skill set.
