Smoke and mirrors - Logistics Specialist Apple Employee Review

Pay is less compared to smaller companies doing twice as much volume. They say “ their benefits off set the pay”, raises are trash even pre COVID. You got MAX 2.5% did not matter if you were a top performer or don’t know your head from your butt. They would then give you RSU that take up to 4 years to vest. You get new RSU every review cycle. So that awesome number you see in your account you will only have a factor of it and when you leave all RSU that have not vested are given back to Apple. Everything is a go go go, they always have staffing issues and never bring in people that ever see this world and expect production is going to double since they doubled staffing. Most of the new contractor were more skilled after 90 days than FTE that have been there for 3+ years. The managers have zero technical knowledge. They spend zero time with their employees. I talked to my manager once a month if that. They won’t only come find you if you did something wrong. They would never praise on great work and always try to ruin you for something that happened 18 months ago. It was always re brought up constantly and they never got over it. If you were not in the inner circle you were over worked and held to unrealistic expectations. The “Apple culture” that everyone thinks there is all from retail. The corporate side has zero team work and nepotism running wild through its ranks. Stay in retail and grow on that side do not come to the IS&T side. You will get burnt out and learn to resent managers.
