Pros

There's the atmosphere, its great, full of energy and excitement. Helping people every day and watching them leave with a smile after you told them they lost irreplaceable baby pictures is powerful. The stock discount is pretty awesome too.

Cons

As a an Apple Retail employee, you're replaceable. And they don't hesitate to remind you of that. Pay is high for retail, low for technical jobs. There's a lot of strife between the store and regional levels, and between the stores themselves. There's lots of drama.

Pros

They really care about making things people will like, and find useful. That makes it immensely satisfying to work there. Brilliant co-workers.

Cons

Hard to get a full-time job there. The secrecy is a big negative. Even when you are an employee, you are still kept in the dark, especially about the "coolest" and newest R&D. There is a lot of research going on there, but since it never gets out, it's worthless. Long term -- it's not clear what will happen when Steve Jobs leaves. It seems unlikely he will continue to lead Apple for another two decades. It's possible the "magic" will go when he does.

Pros

It's Apple. The discounts are good (25%) and even part-time employees are entitled to a 401K, employee stock purchases, transit subsidiaries, free Apple stuff, like software. Along with a lot of 3rd party discounts. 3rd Party vendors will occasionally, like Bose, will visit the store to give a hand and provide lunch for all employees. It's a laid back environment most of the time, with the possibility of career advancement and of course having access to Apple recourses. And there is the occasional possibility of meeting a few celebrities and what not. It's all good stuff.

Cons

At times, a lot of foot traffic, a multitasker's home. Maybe some rude folks, but great for the most part.
