At the very least,  It’s a Job
Pros: - You get to tell people you work at Apple 
- The campus is pretty nice.
- Variety of food options 
- Benefits kick in on the first day 
- You don’t have to do anything because they can’t track productivity. 
- You will get paid on time. 
- Everyone is welcoming, and wonderful 
-  Apple has Resources to help expand your  career. 
- Enough free time to interview for other jobs. 
- Free beats headphones (For work) 
- Potentially the most stress free job ever.
Cons: - You don’t actually have to work. For this role, there is no way of tracking productivity. So people who actually do work and people who sit around loafing all day are essentially the same. 

- No deadlines, deliverables or goals. So you will just feel like you’re wasting time. 

- Only 12 sick days a year. And you have to earn them on an hourly, per pay check basis. 

- This is an hourly role. So you’ll be treated like a child. You’ll be told exactly when to take your lunch and breaks. Even though the job is pretty much online and should allow for more flexibility. Also they will make it very evident that they don’t trust you with organization secrets. Apple in general is very paranoid. 

- Archaic practices. This job is literally online. It can be done from literally anywhere and any communication required could be done online. However, there are no options to work from home, or even an open workspace at the office. You will not be given a laptop. You will have a desktop and will have to work from an uncomfortable desk. Management is not  open to the flexibilities of this day and age.   

- They’ll tell you they want feedback, but they really don’t. 

- Communication is very manual. Managers will literally go around to every one or yell for everyone to gather for a meeting, instead of using all the technology available to us. This is really just funny to watch. 

- Managers aren’t really that important. They can barely get any answers to any work problems. They’re just as in the dark as we are.
