Pluspunten
Apple is innovative, friendly, and people oriented. The management really focused on developing the employee. There are great training programs and there are plenty of opportunities for advancement and growth. It is truly a company that supports the career growth of its employees and rewards leadership abilities and new creative thought. Employees could make suggestions to managers and have these suggestions seriously taken into consideration. Working for apple also has great perks in terms of an employee discount program that allows employees to experience apple products first had. All apple employees are somewhat gadgetiers, even if they didn't start out that way. Its nice to work somewhere where you feel proud about the work and the company.
Minpunten
Working in apple retail is time consuming, and it is often challenging to balance personal time and work requirements. This is mostly because there are too few stores in many area's, and an always growing amount of customers. Christmas season and back to school shopping are some of the busiest times of the year, as well as whenever there is a new apple product on the shelf. Sometimes the management had slightly unrealistic idea's about the extent to which Apple employee's could commit themselves to their job. As a student as well as an employee I have had to choose between work or school, and at the end of the day pressure for the management wanted me to choose work instead.
