Pros

Apple is a great place to work because everyone seems to get along really well. A lot of customers think that we work off commission but we do not and I like that. I feel that if we did then there would be a lot more tension amongst the employees. They are very good when you request time off (as long as its 2 weeks in advance) as well as allowing you to switch shifts with people and they really try to make it fun at work and not like a "day at the office."

Cons

Of course not every job is perfect, and even apple is not an exception. One of the main issues is that we do not receive our schedules until a week or 4 days before we are scheduled and its hard to plan your life around that. Also, your schedule changes every week which makes it difficult to plan other things because you never know when you will be scheduled. It is also sometimes very redundant because we are selling all the same things to some very obnoxious customers!

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
