Pros

Apple is a large company with large stores, but the feeling of working in the store is not like a business, it is like working with family. The co-workers are friendly and it is always sad when one leaves, like loosing a brother.

Cons

The only downside is the occasional customer who makes life difficult by making a scene, but the management quickly and calmly helps the customer cool down, and helps everytime.

Pros

The culture of the Apple Store is what made it so great to work there. Everyone was friendly and become friends and would share stories and go out together after work. If you really love the Apple products like I do then the job is a pleasure. You get a lot of satisfaction from helping others learn how to use a computer and seeing the smile on their face when they realize how simple and easy the interface is to use. A lot of customers are repeats and will ask for you by name and you start to build solid relationships with customers.

Cons

The pay isn't that great. I haven't worked their for a year now, but I was only getting 11 dollars an hour. I guess that isn't so bad considering i was 18 and 19 years old when I worked there. Sometimes you feel that you don't get compensated justly because your on an hourly wage. I would routinely outperform other mac specialist in terms of sales volume each day, but still would get the same hourly rate. There should be some kind of commission reimbursement to compensate those that sell more. Also the managers could sometimes over look your individual performance and only concentrate on sore performance.

Pros

Apple has continued to go out of it's way to see that I not only excel in my current role, but they facilitate my education and future roles. My previous work is always appreciated and I they look for me to be a leader among my peers. They call upon my experiences and ask me to present on topics that I'm more familiar with than my other colleagues. They allow me to work the hours that are most appropriate for me and allow me to be flexible with those hours, coming into the office around 11 am and working until 7, 8 or 9 pm. It is a blessing to have such a generous employer.

Cons

The pay is slightly below what other technology groups are paying, but the benefit of having job security makes up for that. Sometimes I wish that we had the free meals like Google and that we could spend so many hours a week working on our own 'pet' projects, but I can totally understand Apple's reasoning against such thought. The secrecy thing is also kind of a downside. Unless you're directly involved in an upcoming product, you know nothing until the absolute last moment. This can make things really difficult when it comes to working on related products. It also leaves a lot of us feeling as though we can't be trusted.
