Pros

Been an Specialist at brazilian Apple Store means you will be ready for everything: dealing with back-of-house tasks, presenting workshops, explaining and helping customers to buy new Macs, iPhones, iPads, etc and help in mobile Genius Bar appointments You will face ambiguity, issues and situations with customers who develop empathy and a listening ability excellent. The coaching method of Apple is another great point, with the objective to help you learn life-long abilities and also focus on your "low" competencies to improve your capability as an employee Also, the feedback culture of Apple helps you to improve your capability week by week.

Cons

The schedule is full-time and intense, so it's necessary to be in good health. Sometimes the operation and requirements of a retail environment as the Apple Store it is may put company culture and employee necessity in second place, this can make the employee feel de-valorized, underestimated. Also, the recognition policy (promotions, career development) is sometimes obscure and still something that needs to be well developed.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
