Once upon a time a great employer
Many positions (Former Employee), Austin, TX – March 6, 2013
Pros: beer bashes on site, free product sometimes
Cons: compensation is not competitive, less trust in their employees, less progressive management, enables managers to discriminate knowingly
As Apple grew up and became 'corporatized' its lost its appeal. Decent employer but doesn't have as much trust in their employees as competitors and this is demonstrated daily. Apple has the reputation as a sexy fun place to work, it once was, no longer. Having worked there for many, many years, resigned and returned, I've seen the change unfortunately.

One of the best high-tech companies to work for
Campus Representative (Former Employee), Boston, MA – March 5, 2013
Pros: amazing perks and benefits, terrific work culture, youthful and energetic
Apple is by far the best company I have ever been employed at. They offer their employees many benefits and excellent compensation. My manager made me feel appreciated and personally came to me for the initial interview, which is very rare since one usually has to drive to the company's office. My co-workers were young, excited and driven. They were – more... a joy to work with. I got a MacBook Pro, iPod, speakers... a very generous package to start with. They provided me with free online training the first few weeks of starting. Apple also makes every effort to please their employees by bringing them out to eat every so often. The hardest part of the job was leaving. To continue my studies as a college student, leaving Apple was a must but also made me very sad. I would recommend this job to anyone looking for experience with an amazing company. – less

A very secure company with a place for anyone with any set of skills
Fraud Prevention Specialist (Current Employee), Austin, TX – February 26, 2013
I have met and made many friends in all of my coworkers and managers while working at Apple. They do a good job of making sure that employee skills are not wasted and that people properly apply themselves to the positions. There are constant opportunities to try new things and move to different departments and challenge yourself. Keeping up with demand – more... in certain departments is difficult because of the high volume of orders and customer needs, but overall we are well staffed so teams don't get overwhelmed. – less

Amazing products and amazing people
Business Manager (Current Employee), Brandon, FL – February 25, 2013
Pros: cool products, great benefits, work / life balance
Cons: collapse of company culture, low wages, must work holidays and weekends
At Apple, they say that their most important resource and their soul is their people, and they stand by that. I learned that by nurturing relationships, a truly transformational experience can occur. B2B sales can be all about numbers, forecasts, quotas, and goals. Those things are important at Apple, but doing things the right way, doing what is in – more... the best interest of the company and the customer is the only way to achieve long term success. Through this thought process, I was able to grow our team and help each member achieve personal and career goals. I was even selected to go to the home office in Cupertino, CA for a four month project on the evolution of the next phase of our Premier Customer Service Package. But, it was the in the advancement of each of my employees while protecting the customer journey was where I had the most of my job enjoyment. – less

Great Company to Work For!
Campus Representative (Former Employee), Anchorage, AK – February 21, 2013
As the Campus Representative for Apple at the University of Alaska Anchorage I built numerous skills in entrepreneurialism. It was my duty to make Apple ever present on campus. This began with developing proficiency with their products, networking with staff and campus organizations, and extended to promoting and hosting events and workshops. I learned – more... new things about networking and marketing while developing important skills and creating and maintaining innumerable relationships. The job lasted for the school year, so as I graduated the program came to a close. – less

Great Product poor Management
Operations Manager (Former Employee), San Antonio, TX – February 17, 2013
Pros: great product
Cons: poor management
Great place to work if you like stress. The Management team seems to be stressed out on a daily basis. Unreal goals that have to be followed through and work until its done is the nature of the beast.

Great place to work!
TechnicalCustomerServiceSupport2 (Former Employee), Austin, Tx – February 15, 2013
Pros: great food, great co-workers
Cons: they'll work you until your tired of it.
When I was at Apple, my typical day involved chat and email support, for the .Mac suite of services, which is now defunct/known as iCloud. I learned a great deal about how good customer service is expected to be, as Apple is the industry leader in providing customer service to their many users. My co-workers and management were all great, and I really – more... enjoyed working with them. The hardest part of this job is to maintain your enthusiasm when it doesn't seem fun. The reason I left there is the grind of maintaining nearly perfect metrics, and the lack of promotion in the department I was working in at the time contributed to a bit of burnout with my love for the company. I still love and use my Mac products daily, but I could no longer say the same for the job. The best part of working there is the great food in the Apple cafe, they served up some of the tastiest grub everyday. – less

not quite worth it
AppleCare Advisor (Current Employee), Boulder, CO – February 14, 2013
There is little pay and no incentives or benefits. They'll change your schedule with no advanced notice. No sick leave, holiday pay, or vacation time. Insurance is offered but will eat up 80% of the pay check.

A great place to gain experience
AppleCare At Home Advisor/part time (Current Employee), Topeka, KS – February 14, 2013
Pros: great company, great culture, excellent benefits
Cons: low pay, limited mobility for at home workers
Apple overall is great! However as a person with a much more technical background that the position required I was not challenged. Opportunities are there for the right person to move up but to be overly technical you need to live in Austin, TX. or Cupertino, CA. or be willing to move.

Apple Retail Culture is awesome!
Apple Computer Advisor (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA – February 14, 2013
Pros: brand recognition
Cons: disconnect between departments, little corporate cohesiveness.
The most enjoyable experience working in Apple was the many fun events and direct interactions with customers!

The hardest part of the job in the corporate division was the constant change of schedule; sometimes 2-3 times per month!

Fast pace and fun work environment
o Specialist (Current Employee), Tysons Corner, VA – February 12, 2013
Pros: great break room for lunch periods, decent discounts
Cons: strict attendance policy
Every day at Apple is a new experience. It can range anywhere from helping an elderly person purchase their first computer, trouble shooting technical problems with iPhones and Macbooks, to translating for a deaf customer to figure out how we can best assist them. Our goal is not to sell anyone to most expensive product, but to give them the complete – more... solution tailored to their needs. The coworkers are great, having a very diverse set of skills and hobbies and always able to assist if there is a topic that someone is having trouble with. Management is very nice. They help us to progress our learning and assist with anything we need help on. I just love having a customer come in whether they're browsing, or coming with a problem and sending them on their way with all questions answered and a smile on their face. – less
