Amazing company to work with
Pros: Working at Apple is a unique experience that will be like no other company. You work with some of the most amazing people who are talented in a wide range of talents. You learn so much from your team members you'll always utilize them as a resource and they soon become family. The culture here is definitely unique and coming from a commissioned background, as far as sales goes, cut-throat and vindictive behaviors aren't encouraged. Moving up and growing is fairly simple, work hard, build a good rapport, and your work should be noticed. The benefits are amazing: top of the line health, dental, and vision insurance, education and fitness reimbursements (if you work near or at a campus they typically have gyms on campus for roughly $5), medical consultation form Stanford University, 3rd party corporate discounts, RSU and ESPP (Employee Stock Purchase Program) and so much more! Every few months there's something called NPP (Net Promoter for out People) in which the company asks us for our feedback for things to implement change.
Cons: Working in retail is tough. The leadership team can sometimes micromanage while not assuming positive intent which is frustrating. My local leadership team tells you "you own your own development" but give you no direction or coaching. When first starting with the company you get a lot of training for your role, but unfortunately no training around our company's amazing benefits and how to utilize them, and when it's time to use them you're typically scrambling to get a hold of your resources.
