Mr Apple NZ Reviews

There are possibilities to progress in the company constantly, in different departments. I think to move up the ranks, you need both a great attitude and the ability to adapt effectively to changing situations.

We all ways look to keep up with technology and look for new ways to improve.

The culture at Mr. Apple is a healthy one, as they strive to challenge the employees to be better, and they have implemented some tools that help the staff with issues to support them, both inside and outside of work time/issues

I have never seen an issue with diversity within the company. we are all one and are treated equally.

Managing the H&S system and developing Wellbeing culture

Our manager personally is so knowledgeable, easy to approach, understanding and just an all-around genuine person. I think I am personally a bit biased when I say I have the best manager but Mr Apple in general I think has a good judge of character especially with these higher performing roles to ensure they will fit with everyone on the orchards. We often have performance feedbacks which is great for showing you what is the next steps of improvements or where you have done well in other areas. We all have our iPad for clocking in during the day and with these our own Mr Apple email address in which we can receive daily communications from within the company to keep everyone in the loop on what changes are happening or any new updates.

We have a head office based in Hastings which is really well maintained and very central to the pack house too. This is where our managers are based. Upon our orchards, we have small ports one building for different things such as one for office spacing and one for smoko rooms. These are basic sets outs but everything we need is kept in these spaces and are very spaced out around the place for when working in different areas of the orchard. Dress code, for myself being an orchardist as long as you are comfortable and able to do your job in the attire you have chosen anything is okay. As a permanent staff, we are provided with work boots, wet weather gear and a few Mr Apple logo work shirts which are nice to be provided for.

Short Sharp and Simple

Pay is generally based upon progression, if you have a can-do attitude and are willing to learn new things you can expect pay rises. I have found personally that the industry is well-paying especially when you have a few extra hours during the week. We don’t necessarily as orchardists get bonuses but with Mr Apple, there really awesome with acknowledging hard efforts during harvest and will often give us some free days of company leave as a thank you alongside at Christmas time we get hampers and paid work dos and are well appreciated.

Mr Apple has great training in all areas. H&S, management, machinery etc.

Hours are based around workload - get the job done and we get to go home!

We have a fully employed sustainability controls officer who looks for new ways to reduce our environmental footprint. in the workshop, we recycle everything we use and also purchase new tractors which meets European emission standards
