We are all Apple volunteers and not employees. But even so, there is no backdoor for Apple employees and they have no more capabilities than you do, which you can find in Find My. If you had a strong passcode set on your iPhone when it was stolen, the thieves won't be able to guess it within the 10 attempts before it locks them out. Also if you kept your iPhone tied to your Find My, Activation Lock will be enabled meaning the thieves cannot setup and use your iPhone for themselves.
