-In most cases, you are required to work through a temp agency for about a year before getting Apple salary or benefits, and it's no guarantee (sometimes they decide to randomly hire outsiders although a lot of people have already been working there for almost a year and still aren't officially hired. It's a bit of a slap in the face)
-Technical advisor positions are very taxing, lots of angry customers and can take a toll on your mental health.
-Constant call evaluations, someone is always listening in on your phone calls
