"It's a great company to work for. The experience of working for Apple is next to none. Not only have I improved my work performance skills. I think Apple has helped me become a better person. Most people would think I'm drinking too much of the Apple Kool Aid. But, working at Apple has been a life changing experience. I work there part time and the hourly wage is too low to work there full time. If I could make the wages I do at my full time job, I would leave to work at Apple in a heart beat."

Working at Apple in Fairfax, VA: 2 Employee Reviews

Sales Specialist

What do you like about working at Apple?

"Basically, I feel like there are impossible standards being demanded of employees, where management is not held to the same standards."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Don't believe a word they say. It is just like every other retail outlet. It's a numbers game, and only the sharks are promoted."

What don't you like about working at Apple?

"The managers micromanage way too much. We are looked down upon and directed at every turn and rarely given positive feedback. The managers are also very bad about taking feedback from underlings. I also don't think they recognize the talent effectively on the floor."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Move back to the older model of customer service first. Let the products and the service do the selling, and focus less on numbers and profits."
