Pros

Health Insurance Discounts on products (Every 2 years) Remote work at home Company provided computer Option to buy stock at a discount

Cons

No career opportunities ( Unless one moves to California, Texas or NC) At home is a customer service based job- but Apple pushes all tech work such as logging, collecting data for engineers (Role is classified and customer service to avoid " tech" title) Recent merge of jobs into one so all take on more work but no increase and pay Training to learn is crammed within 2-3 days Extra stress and Apple does not help unless one obtains medical documents to support Not an open door company for discussing pay equity as a group- wants a " one on one" approach to collect information. Inclusion and diversity is not equal See apple dot com forward slash diversity — for statistics Board is against Civil Rights audit until recent shareholders vote which changed that. Job schedules change every 6 months based on a stack ranking which is often beyond the Advisors control Loyalty does not matter.. A “who you know” for job advancements. If you’re in College, Apple will target college kids. BE CAREFUL college students! Lots of promises that will never come true. If you’re offered an At-Home job and you do not live in California, Texas, or NC you will NOT have job options unless you pay to move to the states listed. Pay is terrible and Apple will use the same lines of “Add that to your APR” and the raises are trash. They use a 3rd part company to determine pay. If you’re at home, it’s a standard “customer service paid job but then you’re scored on performance and calls all to get a decent schedule. Don’t think because it’s Apple it’s all it’s cracked up to be. They entice you with promises and never deliver. They send out annual surveys wanting feedback but honestly they don’t care. They use Vendors and only jobs are for the states listed. Don’t think Apple truly cares. They only speak up to save face and image. Pay equity is horrible and leadership is not balanced culturally evenly although they will put cultured faces upfront to “Say” they care. Trust me, it’s not there and anytime someone speaks up, you’re seen as an issue. People will often see these reviews and think oh it’s that person. There’s a reason you see so many reviews from former and current employees. Don’t let Apple fool you into thinking differently. Don’t share your ideas as they will belong to Apple and you get No credit. Plus that’s something you sign upon hiring. This is something Apple has on annual APRa as “Innovation” and what YOU DID to contribute to the business. So if you have an idea, don’t share with Apple as you’ll get no credit and no extra pay. Look at the common themes of reviews and you’ll see a pattern. Too many people have left because left for these reasons. Apple will make it appear as if the employee was the issue rather than damaging their image.

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
