The people are great, but stressful
Technical Specialist (Former Employee) – Newmarket, ON – 26 August 2017
The people you work with are great and make you feel supported and welcome. However the job is very high stress and demands that you are fully invested in the company. This can not be treated as just a job, you are expected to eat, sleep and live Apple all the time.
Pros
good benefits and respect work life balance
Cons
stressful, impatient customers, extreme level of commitment
An excellent work environment and wonderful benefits
Specialist (Current Employee) – Vancouver, BC – 25 August 2017
Apple as a company cares about its employees and will do whatever it takes to help when help is asked. It is never boring and an excellent place to learn new skills. Management changes from store to store however and will highly influence how you enjoy working there.
Pros
benefits, special events
Cons
managers can make it hard
You haven't worked retail until you've worked Apple Retail
Product Zone / Technical Specialist (Current Employee) – Laval, QC – 23 August 2017
Amazing place for everyone, especially students. Flexible scheduling. Great training and development. Managers will work with you to achieve your goals. Moving up is easy enough, as long as you have a strong attention to detail and only provide the best service to external and internal customers. Overall a great work environment.
Fun place for a fresh graduated student

Not what it used to be.
Employee (Current Employee) – Montréal, QC – 4 August 2017
Apple - as a company - remains an absolutely phenomenal institution that pushes human kind to chase our passions and do better by our planet.
Apple Retail in Quebec is not what it used to be.
Bathrooms are always clean.
I learned a lot about people and what causes them stress.
I also learned how to help alleviate that stress - listening.

Culture change
Genius (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 3 August 2017
I worked there for 6 years and I saw the culture drastically change for the worse in that time. The stores were run like a family and were very fun to work in. All these changes to a platform that wasnt broken were taken to imporve but didnt really do much
i am not giving a review
Customer Support Representative, Concentrix (Former Employee) – Niagara Falls, ON – 1 August 2017
I do not feel comfortable giving a review nor am I going to. it was technically in my contract not to do so. on top of that I just don't feel comfortable doing it "anonymous" or not,, and I don't think you should continue to make this mandatory
Great place to start a career.
Team Lead (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 31 July 2017
Amazing people, great culture. The retail side is a great opportunity to build life skills as well as professional. Career advancement is extremely tough, and transfer into corporate realms is virtually non-existant.
Apple Retail... Same as any retail
Operations Specialist (Current Employee) – Montréal, QC – 31 July 2017
Nothing special. You can do 1 of 3 things... Sell, tech support or management. No room to move to corporate. Management is very selective on who they like and dislike. Salary is good. Good health benefits. Don't expect a rewarding career.
Pros
Health, Dental, Stocks, High pay for what you do
Cons
Management, Retail, Hours
Good place to work . Good luck getting promotion
FAMILY ROOM TECHNICIAN (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 28 July 2017
its all in the title!
Apple would rather place you in "work place experiences" than promote you or raise your wage. The year raises are also pretty tiny

No major complaints
Technical Specialist (Current Employee) – Canada – 27 July 2017
Having worked for Apple for a little over 5 years, I can tell you it's a good job. Pay isn't the highest, but it's better than most retail jobs. Benefits related to health and dental are where the good stuff is though... both part time and full time employees enjoy comprehensive benefits (and at very minimal cost per pay-cheque).
Environment is good, busy. People can be very demanding and self-righteous... very demanding as if they are the most important person alive. You get the usual yelling people, you get sad people, you get every type of person you can think of.
Advancement is okay if you sip the sauce... peers are very competitive, and there can often be a sense of favouritism. So be prepared to play the political field with your peers and managers.

Dealing with different people and assisting them to the world's most innovative products.
Sales Representative (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 3 June 2017

productive, reliable and accountable
Service Specialist (Former Employee) – Calgary, AB – 31 May 2017
while working at apple, there were many opportunities to learn the technical and personal approach to helping a customer, I found very helpful though management and other colleagues sharing their successful approach and wording to properly assist the customer in their decisions.
Pros
freedom to learn
Cons
time restraints
Great company to work for while enjoying life.
Expert (Current Employee) – Pointe-Claire, QC – 29 May 2017
A typical day at work involves being informed on the day's goals, as well as new initiatives being implemented to improve the customer journey.
I often learn a lot about my clients' lifestyles, which helps to more effectively offer transformational service.
The most challenge aspect is dealing with ambiguity. I'm very good at it, but there is quite a bit of it to deal with. The best part, however, is the team of individuals I get to interact with on a daily basis. Creative individuals who inspire each other to bring our best each day.

Great place to work
Senior Technical Support Representative (Former Employee) – Peterborough, ON – 24 May 2017
I really enjoyed my time with Minacs Peterborough, especially in Tier 2 CPU. I met many people I will remain friends with for the rest of my life. The work can be demanding and difficult and the customers unruly, but it was one of the best jobs I've ever quit.
Pros
Lots of employee fun stuff
Cons
some brutal managers
Culture is one sided
Expert (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 8 May 2017
Apple knows how keep the incentives coming for their employees however use that to their advantage.
The store is a very busy place to work, not enough break times, and very demanding environment.
