Pros

If you love Apple, its exciting to be around all the newest and best technology. I was a promotor of Apple products before working here and thats all I do in the store. Most of the other employees there are really cool and I've made some life long friends, but some are kinda odd as well. Most of the managers listen to me when I have a problem at work or at home, and are very willing to help.

Cons

By teaching us how to ask open/close ended questions to every guest that purchases something in order to find an opening to suggest a relevant solution, they expect us to sell a certain amount of "add-ons" like Applecare, Procare, MobileMe and OnetoOne with every product sold. I would rather just like to have a genuine conversation with the guest and not have to worry about sale numbers especially since I don't make commission. Most guests are already on a budget when buying and I can tell they already feel pressured to buy if I bring up MobileMe and how well it works with iLife. And at that point, I still have to go over Applecare and OnetoOne. Oh yeah, I don't make commission.

Pros

Apple Inc has amazing products, and is commitment to innovation unlike most companies. Cash flow to employees is fairly limited and based on what I know, no one will think themselves paid well until they make the jump into director level and beyond. However, there's amazing equity appreciation available in a company that carries such a high market valuation. People there are very smart and generally motivated. The "supporting" roles around the products are also motivated, but at times they may not be as committed as your team needs them to be. Ultimately, there's a poor work and life balance at Apple.

Cons

Apple has a poor work/life balance. And the promotion schedule is generally too slow, as is the pace of salary increases.
