Pluspunten
I spent 3 years working for Apple Retail Stores. Well developed systems ensure that timetable management, benefits readily applicable on maintained portals Apple attracts some extremely clever, talented colleagues who are fantastic to work with. Apple makes a point of paying your for any time you are there. This was appreciate in so far that I'm aware that wage theft by employers is prolific, and time theft even more so. Apple encourages a work-life balance where possible. Apple product benefits where applicable (though limited in discount considering mark-up)
Minpunten
Apple has a habit of hiring people based on initial qualities. Unfortunately, this often means you'll work with some of the most horrendous, lazy people. Ritual-almost child-like morning updates and tasks, focused on recycling as much repetitive tasks and mantra's regarding apple products. Any dis-taste or preference away from products that are not made by them almost leads to habitual bullying. Better hide your Samsung at home. No route to go. Habitual gate-keeping of roles and use of promotions as bargaining tools. Convoluted, childish and almost cliche internal politics involved make management, on occasion, look worse than the often childish staff they're there to manage. You will often mix with a variety of staff who have simply been employed for a longer time. The 10 Year + colleagues are basically furniture, and as such were able to dictate their wage at an early time. You'll often find yourself working with far older colleagues who have abnormally high salaries whilst performing tasks to a bare minimum standard. The staff have been fairly well treated. This has led to unmanageable expectations, delusions of grandeur within the company and slightly large egos within a micro-cosmos. The pay is only slightly above minimum wage, and has not increased with inflation to an acceptable standard. Do not be fooled by rumours. Almost all of my roles have paid something similar or more.
