Pros

Events on site, benefits, some great coworkers

Cons

tough schedule, overbearing management, constant flow of calls without many breaks. AppleCare is unique at Apple, and unlike any other department. While in AppleCare, you will be treated like a secondhand employee. Management will micromanage you, and if you are not taking a certain amount of calls per hour, will often talk to you. In other departments, Apple treats its employee's with a much more open "start up culture vibe", where employee's have the ease of a creative space. Not in AppleCare however. You are there to take calls and that is it. I would think of AppleCare culture more in line with a pyramid scheme or MDM culture, where your existence is simply to meet numbers. I have to quit simply for the mental anguish. Apple is a great company, and I still love Apple products and upper level management. If possible join another org.

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
