Vantaggi
Apple has a unique work environment that both encourages and requires independence and the ability to be versatile. Aside from working on the newest and greatest consumer products, Apple's fast pace enables one to learn and gain much more experience quickly than one would at other companies where work is slower. For those who like to travel, Apple can be a great experience leading to opportunities and luxuries that one would typically not be able to enjoy themselves.
Svantaggi
For those who don't want to travel, Apple is not the company for them in an ops position. Travel is required and very frequent in order to be on top of issues that are pertinent to ones position. A lack of structure is an obvious flaw which affects the team's ability to stay organized and to keep the lines of communication open.
