    Great opportunity for innovative thinking. If you look pushing the boundaries and execute on innovative customer-centric ideas, this is a great place.

    Not for everyone, working hard and thinking outside the box will ensure you get noticed.

    I have been working at Apple full-time (Less than a year)

    Pros

    The benefits extend beyond the standard employee discounts, there is an entire portal to all of the third-party benefits available as well. Apple also have a fitness reimbursement for gym memberships, as well as an education reimbursement too for uni or other approved educational institution classes. Not a very big focus on sales performance, because many Apple products just sell themselves, so you can enjoy your interactions and get to know the customers

    Cons

    Can be very stressful in peak periods like Christmas, with many customers quick to become impatient. Very few cons compared to my previous jobs as a schoolteacher.

    Advice to Management

    Be more clear as to what employees should specifically focus on, in order to work towards other positions

    I have been working at Apple full-time (Less than a year)

    Pros

    Great life balance

    Great people

    Amazing environment, culture, and diversity

    Discount on Apple products for you and family/friends

    Wellness Reimbursement

    Cons

    Too flexible and soft so employees take advantage of

    Not much opportunity to grow

    Hard move from retail to corporate

    Advice to Management

    You guys are doing a great job to inspire and attract talent, however, you let a lot of key talent leave for the lack of recognition

    I understand where you come from to help part-timers and students but you guys are failing to be too soft. As a full timer, we don't have many people taking responsibility because 3/4 our team is part time and goes to work twice a week

    I have been working at Apple part-time (More than 3 years)

    Pros

    - fantastic working environment
    - great hours
    - great location (in a shopping centre)
    - increases your customer service skills

    Cons

    - customers can be pre-bad, verbally abuse you
    - very little pay for the things you go through
    - there's so many people it's hard to get support

    Advice to Management

    I would say that the only thing management could change would be their emotional support towards their stuff, being there as it's a mentally challenging job
