Pros

Apple Retail offers great pay...thats undeniable! Its a fast-pace retail environment unlike no other and is rarely a boring place to be. The pros are seriously limited to financial compensation and perks of that nature though. Discounted company stock is pretty great, benefits for all employees, product discounts (albeit rather minor discounts)...these aspects are where Apple excels compared to other retail operations

Cons

They make a lot of empty promises that they can't keep at the store management level. I was there for 2 years and was ALWAYS performing within the top 5% of everyone in the store and yet, the VAST majority of open positions would go to new hires who have never worked in retail or for Apple. This inevitably caused incredibly low morale amongst the employees at our store. The people who WERE being promoted from within were those who would hang out with managers outside of work, and were usually the most fake employees in the building. If you can sacrifice dignity to move up, then you will be a rockstar in this company. If you refuse to be fake, and stab other people in the back, then you will have no shot at a career in retail. How much you know, or how good you are at making customers loyal to Apple for life, is irrelevant. However, I will say that when I would go and work for other stores outside of our market, it was a LOT different. It felt like how retail did back when Steve Jobs was still alive and Jon Browett was still in charge of retail. Ever since then, things have been all about numbers and politics. Back then, it was all about change and enriching lives.

Pros

The people I worked with were really passionate for the products and Apple did a great job of letting you express yourself. We got to test drive new software, and work with people from all walks of life. It made the days go by quickly.

Cons

Getting a job is tough. Once you make it in, there is limited opportunity for advancement. Good luck getting full-time work.
