Apple Employer Reviews

Overall this is a very nice placed to work. The pace is fast. You are exposed to cutting edge technology.

Apple is the most unique place I have worked in my career. A typical day lasts from 8:30 to 6:30 with a few hours more at home. My co-workers and I kid that this is the first place we worked where we wished it was Monday versus Friday so we had more time to get things done. Timelines are ultra short and there is little to no tolerance for mistakes. – more... Management gives their employees a long leash to do what they want as long as commitments are hit and constant improvement on processes and tasks happen. The hardest part of the job is the ramp into your role, it typically takes longer than what I have experienced elsewhere but the expectation is to ramp in half the time. If you find a manager that you have a good fit with than you should be fine. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with a great cross section of people. All in all, a good experience but I have learned to know what I look for in my next role. – less

- perform inventory duties through SAP, audit the system versus physical computers, contact customers with status updates, prioritize the day to the incoming technicians. Partner with management with variances and update them with customer service issues. receive and allocate incoming parts. facilitate appointments with customers.
- I learned that using – more... feedback both positive and constructive can help individuals and the team as a whole and to not be afraid to use it but helps with managements support.
- Management attempts to make sure that the team has the support needed to facilitate the needs of the customers both for the internal and external ones. Also they attempt to help one's career in Apple but at times can lose sight.
- Apple takes pride in the diverse hiring of the team. The co-workers at Apple are energetic and understand that helping and using feedback is the best tool to have a successful team
- The hardest part of the job is when new product comes out and the team is not aware of all the benefits and features to show the customers
- Most enjoyable part of the job is when we have overnights and change the layout of the store and showcase new products. Knowing that the store speaks for itself by the displays and setup is a rewarding feeling. – less

Great place to develop yourself, i recommended everyone to work here

One of the best retail companies I've worked for. Very fair environment. Tough attendance policy, but very clear.

The company provided a good amount of training. The culture is very upbeat but expect to be part of the "Apple-Koolaid" club.

I've learned many things from working at apple. I've learned patience and knowledge seeking. I've learned to look at things at a different perspective and be more of a team player.

good company to work for. I enjoyed working with all the people that I cross. I learned many experience from all the people that i met.

Pays well for at home work. Supplies all equipment necessary to do the job.

I honestly loved working at Apple and maybe if I wanted I would go back to it. A great team awaits anyone who wishes to work at Apple. I learned technical skills and social skills. I also learned skills that would allow me to become a manager. The management team was ok. Different agendas sort of conflicted with one another and so not entirely on the – more... same page. Also some managers were truly there to help you grow while others not so much. The hardest part of the job was maybe dealing with unexpected situations but that also made it the best. Thinking on your feet is certainly a challenge but totally worth it. – less

typical day is easy just talking on phones. just hope you dont get a angry customer. I learned proper phone techniques the management are cool. my co workers are the best. hardest part is angry customers but the most enjoyable is the customers as well

Working for Apple was an amazing experience that helped me develop certain traits and improve on weaknesses. I learned to be patient with customers and provide the top most service. Management was very welcoming and cool. They always had something new to teach. Best part of the job was my co-workers. They made it enjoyable for me. Very friendly atmosphere – more... in my opinion. The hardest part I would say is humbling yourself with the customers. – less

When you first start work for Apple they give you the hopes and dreams speech as I call it, everyone whom I know that started work for Apple have high hopes and expectations. Over time you realize its all a lie, extremely misguided management, overworked and many times not paid. The way you learn of new policies is by being written up first, don't speak – more... up or out or you may end up on the unemployment line. Many times they have mandatory overtime, change schedules without notice, and have since outsourced scheduling to the philippines. I did enjoy the history and the culture and great people to work with but there is no future with Apple, every supervisor or manager is eventually replaced and the new ones will not even know your dedication and loyalty despite being screwed. – less

Apple is a fun and innovative place to work. Sadly they closed the field office in Ft. Lauderdale, which required me to find employment elsewhere.

Great Customer service is what Apple is all about and it is a very good place to work because your coworkers are more like your friends.

Apple is a wonderful company to work for, they offer lots of employee enrichment.

Amazing workers. You will learn more than you can even imagine.

Values at Apple are amazing when utilized by staff and management. People can be amazing if they invest and strive to do their best. My experience was great. I love my Apple family and miss working with them. Though I know that experience is not everyones it was mine.
Typical day would start with a shift meeting, then move on to tech support with customers – more... one on one, then move to training sessions in either group or one on one sessions, lunch, then repeat.
Management was very proactive and would periodically check on your performance and personal outlook on the store as a whole, your area of focus, you likes and dislikes, etc. Reflection and take aways are very important to the management.
Hardest part of the job is dealing with unhappy customers. For me that was fun because I like calming people down and helping them through hardships. The best part of the job was playing with Apple products all day, getting the news of new products before anyone else, and setting them up before the general public got to see them.
Co-workers overall were great. A couple of bad apples (no pun intended) every once in a while who didn't fit in correctly with the work flow and style who would weed themselves out over time. They would be the typical lazy slouch or complain about anything and everything.
I learned a lot about new technology, genuine customer service, setting expectations early and correctly, driving myself to learn and grow in a field of professional interest, and how very important respectful feedback is both down and up the chain of command really is. – less

I did not like how the scheduling worked but loved my coworkers and the work place environment and culture

Awesome place to work and have a career. Team atmosphere is great. I enjoyable interacting with different customers on any work day. A typical day at work consist of selling products and services offered by Apple Inc. to all customers.
