Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Cult-like. Employees no Longer Valued.
Pros: Benefits available for part time employees. Higher starting pay than many retail positions. Employee discount. International company means there are opportunities to keep your job if you relocate. Focus on improving hiring practices for diversity and inclusion. Employees kept on during Covid19 shutdown.
Cons: Toxic positivity at the retail level. Lack of clear and consistent messaging breeds distrust in management and the company at large. Cult-like atmosphere. Gaslighting from management. Management ignoring needs. Difficult to advance. Still hires disproportionate number of white men vs. women and POC. Stores not enforcing social distancing and safety rules during Covid19 reopen, employee safety put below bottom line even though Apple is more than rich enough to take the hit to ensure safety, especially considering retail stores only make up something like 8% of profits.
