Pros

- Benefits - Discounts - Colleagues are really friendly with one another

Cons

- Management makes up rules about weekends, sick time/time off, and doesn't care about work-life balance. - Management also forces part-time employees to work past the 28 hours per week rule in the summer time, but does not compensate you or even consider you for full-time positions. They will also force you to work all holidays because they want the time off instead. - Since gaining a new Market Team leader, it's been all numbers and favoritism; I could sell 2 phones and make great promoters, but management turns around and writes me up for not "doing my job." - Management will ignore your requests or deny you in the scheduling system. - Management will also schedule you for all closing shifts if you have open availability and when you complain, they fix it for one week.

Pros

Work with game developers to bring their games to Apple Platforms. I get to work with all the technology that goes into games and make games feel native.

Cons

Sometimes work projects build up.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
