You will not go from retail to corporate headquarters, period. Employee development helpful for your next job, but purely a retention tool and not meant to help you advance within Apple. Indescribable anxiety throughout company- a little bit like middle school with the he-said, she-said over analyzing of employees. Lots of talk about ownership, but no trust and none given to employees. Depending on store, management can be very top-down and condescending. Hire incredibly smart people, but treat them like children. ASLP program great in concept, but still developing. Family Room testing on employee morale- time limits on repairs very idealistic and the customer experience suffers as a result.
