Great job!
Pros: Super progressive, World Class company. I love Apple. I always thought they made good products before working for them but once I joined the company. Pros:

- Some of the most talented, friendly, truly awesome people I've ever met. Sometimes my coworkers show me something new and blow my mind, sometimes I'm having a bad day and they lift me up, all the time I walk into work and get hugs all around. 

- Leadership cares. And they care about caring. It's almost like Kindergarten where they go out of their way to make sure that you're okay that they you know that they care about you. 

- Awesome benefits. 401(k), competitive wage, health/dental/vision insurance, gym membership reimbursement, tuition reimbursement, super awesome discounts, etc. 

- You get to meet some of the coolest people who come in as customers and have the chance to actually make their lives better. I helped this old lady who was 72 last week. She is completely blind but can hear very well. I helped her get her first smartphone (iphone 6s Plus) and taught her how to use the accessibility feature for blind people. I taught her how to get Siri to play her favorite music for her. We sat there for about 10 minutes jamming out and when she left, she gave me a hug. I got paid to do that. How cool of a place. 

-No attendance policy. They know things happen and are very flexible.
Cons: Some of the customers can be entitled and annoying.

Some of the staff can be arrogant at times. 

SUPER HARD to get promoted unless you are a rockstar amongst rockstars. I beat out over 400 people just to get in the door. So did everyone else I work with... Anywhere else I would be the standout MVP of the place; at Apple, im just slightly above average according to my management team (that's not good enough to get a promotion at Apple, btw)
