Pros

Great to work from home where you can wear what ever you want and be surrounded by your pets (if you have any), no need to fork out for transport to and from work or put with with the trending office virus. 10% - 25% off Apple products.

Cons

*Work life balance non existent, having to constantly battle with other people for a 2 month shift where you can get a weekend off (high score/ranking get first pick). 4 x 10 shifts do not allow you to take classes at night and can interfere with home life. Was originally told in interview that Apple is very flexible with their shifts... not unless you are at the top of your team. * Being scrutinized over every syllable uttered. * Statistics constantly shoved down your throat (daily), having your statistics shown to everyone else in the team (daily), even worse, having your clothing size broadcast to the rest of the team in an e-mail. * Guilt tripped over sick leave (oh, everyone has to work SO much harder because you were coughing your guts up). * Managers who don't care about you, just their statistics and how good you make them look. * Little room for career opportunities unless you are perfect and appears only ONE way to go up which is to T2. Other options are not available in Australia (contrary to what T/L advised initially). * Extreme social isolation unless you like being a hermit. * The expectations are becoming increasingly unrealistic and only obtainable by those who work like robots. * Lying team leader who likes to mince your words and throw them back at you. Advises about career progression that is not there. * Contradicting information. Being told one thing, then being told the opposite in the next sentence. Can make for a very frustrating time.

Pros

Reasonable pay You get to work from home

Cons

Everything If you need help you do not get it If you transfer a call to a higher department your screamed at for high escalation If you aren't one of the managers favourites you can be certain you will have a bad time No matter how hard you try it's not good enough If you have time off medical certificates don't count towards anything and you will be terminated No sense of how mental health effects different people if you suffer from it and take time off you'll most likely be terminated Words twisted to the point your not even sure what you said to start with anymore
