I worked at Apple part-time for more than a year

Pros – - Fun Environment
- Friendly Coworkers
- Good Training

Apple is overall a great place to work, with dedicated, enthusiastic staff that love the company and the products they sell. It is a very relaxing place to work that never really feels like a hard days work at the end.

Cons – -Expects complete dedication
-Difficult customers

Things can get crazy at Apple sometimes around the holidays and other times it can get very boring if no one is entering the store. Since employees are not on commission the money isn't always the best but considering it is retail it is pretty good.

Advice to Senior Management – Help out more in the stores when things get busy

I have been working at Apple full-time for more than a year

Pros – Excellent benefits, some of the most interesting people you'll ever meet in your life, great environment to work in. Great business customers. You also learn how to better deal with personalities of all types. Most people that come to Apple, leave better than they came (many come back!). Your feedback is heard and the company responds (to most things).

Cons – As a Business Specialist, your pay is still tied to retail standards, which is unfair considering the amount of revenue you're expected to drive, particularly if you work at a high traffic store like my store. One of my biggest issues with Apple is no commission, no bonuses, at all. Regardless of your background and experience, as a retail employee you will have a strike against you if you're interested in corporate roles, and recruiters make it clear. Most corporate hiring is done through external talent sourcing. Conversations around career paths for retail employees are centered on retail opportunities, not corporate opportunities. Not encouraging when you know you are a valuable asset to the team.

Advice to Senior Management – Get out of your own world, remember that you started somewhere too. Value the people that want to grow at Apple and bring a lot to the table.

apple is very big, has large corporate culture, lots of process
