Not what I thought it would be...

Pros

Decent pay, solid benefits, above-average to excellent coworkers, supportive leaders.

Cons

This company is definitely not what I thought it would be. Imagine the daily cult-like pounding of Apple philosophies into our brain. Massive double standards exist in regards to the quality of corporate decision-making vs retail. I've seen corporate make the most horrendous decisions that have broken promises, while deeply hurting customers and employees along the way. I've seen terrible decisions handed down that are 100% in opposition to the "Credo" we're expected to follow. The worst part? 100% avoidable. Apple corporate is not held to the same high standards as retail...and retail pays for it every day. When I started, the One-To-One training program for customers was awesome and the primary reason why I joined. Apple head honchos decided we weren't helping enough people and axed it (breaking promises to customers in the process). Now Today At Apple is a total mess. All they care about is headcount. Good, intelligent, talented people have left the Creative position to take lower positions with less pay because it's such a mismanaged tangle of blind-leading-the-blind. I can't wait to leave.

Pros

Work at home. Get a computer to work on.

Cons

Low wages, whiney entitled jerks call in and are completely clueless about their phone and it’s all you’re fault. No one that calls in can remember a password and they lose their minds when you can’t help them reset it. Apple expects you to act like a disney princess while a grown man acts like a teenage girl over a cell phone; “I hate you!” Prepare to get abused for low wages from a company that has a savings account with 265.1 Billion dollars+.

Pros

I made a lot of good friends I still keep in touch with. I became a certified mac technician and got to go to Cupertino to do it. That is about it.

Cons

I WISH I COULD SAY ZERO STARS. Awful pay they cap what you can make after so many years of being there and unless you move to manager you never will get a raise again They did a way with with the Genius role Work life balance is a joke it was a cage match trying to get time off and if you didn’t get what you needed people would call out sick anyway. Managers did not care and always put the customer first Even if you or the normal protocol was being followed They also would provide passive aggressive advice or fearless feedback how to do better Discount is awful as retail does not make enough to afford anything even with the discount The watches came out and t was 50% off for a month that was a joke. Managers got free iPad pros for Christmas and employees got a branded water bottle. Corporate shuts down for holidays and retail barely gets a few pizzas for working on a holiday Years later and things have gotten worse I would say stay as far away as possible. It is not a good place To be and it is not what it used to be.
