Pros

Reasonable pay You get to work from home

Cons

Everything If you need help you do not get it If you transfer a call to a higher department your screamed at for high escalation If you aren't one of the managers favourites you can be certain you will have a bad time No matter how hard you try it's not good enough If you have time off medical certificates don't count towards anything and you will be terminated No sense of how mental health effects different people if you suffer from it and take time off you'll most likely be terminated Words twisted to the point your not even sure what you said to start with anymore

Pros

Can't think of any really. I suppose having any job is better than being unemployed - but then again maybe not. There were discounts on Apple products for those into Apple's gadgets - but that wasn't me.

Cons

Very unpleasant working environment. Call centre area was a big artificially lit room with no windows. If you're working in After Sales you have to take dog's abuse from customers. There should nearly be counsellors on site to help people cope! New customer service agents are expected to come up to speed unrealistically fast on everything. I was so unhappy working there I actually became ill (for pretty much the first time in my life) - something I attribute to the stress of working there - and had to leave.

Pros

Just being able to say that I worked at Apple was pretty cool. Work was interesting and challenging. Didn't really have time to take a breath between projects. I liked the feeling of achieving some pretty hefty goals in a heroic time frame. Great sense of accomplishment. Good to see things that I have worked on be successful in the marketplace.

Cons

Biggest challenge was balancing work and home life. The pace of the company is better suited to people in the early part of their career. As someone who now has a young family, career has taken a back seat. Unfortunately, I couldn't balance my changing priorities with my job. I would love to be back at Apple, but I cherish being able to have dinner with my kids every night.
