    The job and the team are great, but it's difficult when you have emotional bosses who lack empathy
    The good things-Good Teammates -Casual outfits -2 Times Bonus a year -Opportunities to learn about different department and their roles.
    The challenges-Leadership from managers lacks consistency in accountability, empathy, and professionalism -Manpower issues during shifts are often blamed on the team instead of being properly managed, even though the shifts were assigned by the manager. -Career growth and salary increments are communicated as 'performance-based', but in practice can feel inconsistent -Favoritism appears to influence recognition and opportunities within the team -Employee well-being (e.g., Transportation/Medical/ Annual leaves) is not always handled with appropriate consideration and empathy, and no, they do not value work-life balance. -The only team that has a mandatory 'English Day' 3 times a week, and the seat arrangement is shuffled every few months.

    It was great after the next few months. I didn't enjoy working because of the toxic work environment and badmouthing behind colleagues after working for some time
    The good thingsThere are many loyal customers here. If you treat the customers right, they will come finding for you no matter what. Ignore anyone who tries to bring you down
    The challengesGroup commission previously was very satisfying. After a few months they changed the commission scheme, it gotten lower and It made me lose motivation to close my sales in a proper manner

    Balance
    The good thingsWork-Life Balance, commission, ability to own and use Apple Products (even though belongs to company). Good team work within outlet and district, everyone are speaking in the same voice, understanding superior.
    The challengesLeveraging Apple's standard and expectations while working on a different reality or situation while in operation days. Ad-hoc marketing activities which sometimes clashed with operation's side situation which sometimes caused some promotions to customers were not consistent.

    Heaven for Apple fans
    The good thingsVery helpful and friendly young workforce. Fun working environment. Able to learn more features and functions of any Apple devices and also meeting customers who are passionate about technology.
    The challengesCan be tiring at first for a newcomer standing most of the day but will eventually get used to it. Dealing with difficult customers who feel entitled and refusing to take our advice claiming they are always right.

    Treat your frontline staff better and appreciate talent.
    The good thingsGood for SPM Leavers who about to start their first job. The only APR that work closely with Apple and you will have Opportunity to attend Customer soft skill or Product training from Apple corporate office. Apart of training and you will have opportunity to experience launching event in every new product. Good Manager and team members they are always assist and guide you to become potential candidate of next senior.
    The challengesThe challenge is you have no power to make decision when encounter product issue that required for exchange from customer side. The oppurtunity of getting promoting are very low unless they are lack of potential candidates. Commission is base on group but Don't be too happy as the management always change the target which is make you impossible to hit. Overall from The Operation manager till the District manager are not really taking care the concern from the staff especially the welfare. I personally not recommended.

    Great!
    The good thingsI did enjoy working here because the staffs were all good to me, I got to learn new things, I got to improve my customers skills and I got to expose myself in technologies. The salary is good for the beginner like me.
    The challengesYou have to maintain your level in Apple chart (I dont know how to describe it), have to overcome fussy customers, have to had a high level of patience but overall these was all a small matter to me.

    Cool experience
    The good thingsHaving good colleagues willing to teach you about product knowledge in their free time. Learned more about the Apple Products and the features that we have never heard of before. Gets better in interact with the customers and understand their needs. Overall is good.
    The challengesThe hardest part is MPP and ACPP, the target isn't easy to reach because it is part of your commission. No matter how hard we tried to persuade the customer to get it for the benefits, most of the customers don't want it. The salary is below than average salary, way too unexpected. Machines is a big company and I don't understand why they offer such low income. Sometimes I wish I was able to spend my other half day with friends and myself for relaxation and stress-free instead of working a lot OT most of the time.

    Had a wonderful time talking to customer and clerks
    The good thingsThe surrounding environment which are very friendly and helpful. Before you're working there, you will have to undergo training with the list ( in store trainer) they are very friendly, and they even remember my name. Then when in store, everyone there seems like a family and working there is great moment that should be cherish .
    The challengesThe management is not as professional as they look. It could be due to big company, and thus leading to miscommunication. Other than that, one of the challenging moment is when selling MPP and Acpp to customer. Those are like an 'insurance' that you try to target to sell. Next, there are also some special customer which needs to be handle wisely.

    It's great as i get to improvise my communication skills day by day.
    The good thingsWorked with a great team that always helps me with a lot of things. Lao I get to communicate and talk personally with the customers and hear their thoughts about Apple products Andy how they enjoy their experience using them.
    The challengesGreatest challenge would be dealing with customers. Some are amazingly nice and kind but there are times when I have to deal with customers without manners and lack of respect.
