Don't drink the Coolaide
Pros: Great staff discounts, 50% off a certain accessory after your probation ends.
Cons: Toxic management structure, manipulative leadership techniques and bullying is utilised to bring down your overall level of positivity. Each morning upon arriving to work, a small highlight of the prior day will often be over-exaggerated into a 30 minute 'download' which will be full of team-building, oddly-time clapping and celebrating. In turn, this will ensure you're hyped for the day ahead, only then for leaders to continue their power trip over your selling techniques. 
- In my time their, my direct leader who was involved in my hiring process told me the following: 'You're not Apple material', 'it's my way or the highway, that's why I get paid the big bucks', 'You need to be more personal and open up to your team-mates'. 

- Thec oncept of 'feedback' is an excuse to use your colleagues as a punching bag...sorry...'constructive' punching bag. 
- Autonomy doesn't exist, and god forbid that you're an independent thinker because you'll be shunned by leaders who feel threatened by your ideas or problem solving abilities. 
- Don't try and think for yourself, just accept it's an 'I say, you do' store and you will be fine
