Svantaggi
the sense of culture that was present before steve died has been replaced with generic, empty corporate sloganeering, focus only on numbers, and an utter disregard for employee satisfaction. overworked, under compensated. adversarial relationship between different groups that support the online store/retail online. apple rewards management for all the wrong things especially being professional jerks, frontline reps aren't paid a living wage for what it costs to live in Austin. members of customer service teams at apple (as well as other groups ) are on assistance because they don't get paid enough. everyone constantly has new responsibilities added but without the appropriate increase in pay. this is especially true of the poorest among us. apple also constantly outsources jobs to other companies in the states but doesn't seem to care about the quality of those sites or the extremely low pay of the employees there. all we hear is "focus on quality" at sites where the people hired are making just above minimum wage to perform a very complicated job that requires a high degree of competency. Most of the people at the facilities are not qualified to do the job as they have little to no technical skills, no job experience, or they are too old or sickly to flip burgers. Plus, you get what you pay for. good people are not going to take a job that pays $8 an hour.
