AppleCare At-Home Advisor
Pros: Working from a home office, virtually zero commute time, great benefits, competitive wage, extensive and thorough training, finding coverage for emergent or medical call-offs is *not* needed, and a company-wide hands-off management style.
Cons: All medical-related concerns/requests/leaves of absence are handled by a 3rd party called Sedgewick and communication between them and Apple HR is terrible. Leave of absence for *any* reason will be denied outright within your first year. Attendance policy is harsh with no room for negotiation with management. Apple owns the full rights to any ideas that you have while working for them. Communication with HR in general is a hassle and often takes weeks or months for a response.
