"I worked for Apple for just under 3 years. During that time I was able to grow and become on the top geniuses at both the stores I worked at. There is a great work/life balance and the management seems to actually care. The compensation for senior leveled genius is not as good as it should be, however benefits, employee purchase programs, stock portions, and more help. I would 100% recommend working at Apple to anyone, and have actually gotten a few people to join in on the fun!"
"I cannot express how well this company cares for and values each individual."

"Apple is dynamic, fast-paced, and always interesting. They have razor sharp focus on the customer experience. So much so that building your own skill set often get put by the wayside. All of my excellent experiences are centered around their product which can sometimes be an obstacle to getting other external positions. The company truly inspires me to become a better leader at what ever I do, but other companies want to see a manager title before they believe your leadership experience."
