The Worst Company

Pros

I've been here for almost four years and can attest to the fact that they are extremely biased. If you stand up and say anything, you will be fired right away. Here, there are a lot of cliques and unethical practices.

Cons

Recruiters are incredibly unjust. Even if a person is competent for a position, they are denied for no apparent reason. They prefer to promote an inexperienced applicant's application simply because they know them personally. I intend to leave this company in the near future. I am honestly disgusted by some of the things that I’ve witnessed and will not speak about. I'm hoping things improve.

The Entire Company is in Shambles

Pros

Great pay Flexible schedule for remote recruiters benefits and perks

Cons

Chaos and disorganization nonstop. There is a new CEO and has restructured the company and absolutely annihilated morale. A chunk of upper leadership left when he came on and it's become a trickle down effect down to the recruiters. It's a constant revolving door. Tenured recruiters are leaving en masse because the company has gone down hill. Very little grace for not meeting numbers. They don't care much about you as a person. You're only as good to them as the money you bring in. I work late every single day to make goals and I have a baby. I wouldn't do it if I weren't scared that I'd lose my job and not be able to provide for her.

Pros

This is the second time glassdoor has tried to filter my review and censor my free speech. I guess thats a thing now on the internet. At any rate, scroll to the cons section and lets see how long my review stays up

Cons

Everything - take a moment to browse through the negative reviews for KellyConnect/Apple and believe me when I tell you there is some weight to what these people are saying. You are and forever will be an expendable number at this company. They DO NOT value you as a human being and they never will because there are always a bazillion people waiting in line to take your job. Until all of us stop applying to this company and stop buying Apple products, all you are doing is feeding the machine. The machine that makes more money off of you, either by you working here or by purchasing their subpar products, all of that is what allows this to continue to go on year after year after year after painful year. Granted yes, it's a job and they are paying you money, but that does not mean that just because you are an employee that they can treat you INSANELY unfairly, flip flop on their policies (and they do this daily, just making up stuff as they go along). I get it, you want to work from home.. please, I encourage you to browse the internet for other remote opportunities because they do exist, and I assure you that you will be treated better somewhere else, anywhere else. Kelly is Apple Inc's... for lack of a better word (glassdoor removed this content, so use your best guess and determine what one word was left here in parentheses), and when Apple says jump, Kelly replies with "YES SIR, HOW HIGH SIR?" you want us to fire x amount of people, ok done.. you want us to voluntell x amount of people that we need to move them out of their current role into something they will not excel at, done.. you want us to cut hours and reduce our staff in these lines of business? Done, is there anything else we can do for you today oh wonderful and masterful Apple? Please, we are here to serve you Apple... This my friends, is the exact thing you can expect to live everyday of your life if you choose to work for this company. (mic drop)
