Pros

You are working at a company that is the official distributor of Apple products in Southern Africa,. Their training is excellent and you can get it at highly reduced prices or even for free. You also get a discount on all Apple products. You get to learn the "Apple Way" having access to limited but insightful training and resources, if you want to know about excellent customer service then work at Apple or a subsidiary. The online sales training makes it really easy to sell Apple products (which are already an easy sell).

Cons

They are riding on the name of Apple in California. They have a poor support system locally and this in turn makes you look bad to customers. The managers only think of themselves in terms of time and financial reward - the comission is low if you are selling and they expect you to give up your life. No-one really knew what was happening with senior management, and they were extremely underhanded. Mkae sure you know what position you are going in to and ensure your job description is specific.

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
