Pros

Apple is very serious about promoting from within when able and about helping people grow in to the position they want to have in the company. They really do care about both the employee and the customer. Most other retail companies treat their employees like disposable items. When you reach a full time position the benefits are very good - they compete with other non-retail companies I've worked for and hands-down beat all other retail companies I've worked for.

Cons

In the end it is still retail. So, there are odd hours, working nights, weekends and holidays. A little bit of the retail "numbers" game creeps in as well, but not anything like the rest of the retail world.

Pros

The culture of the company is one of the best I've ever experienced. From the basic understanding that if you do something there's probably a good reason for it to the whole team-integration, there's no fear that there is going to be backstabbing or infighting. The fairly clear paths for keeping a career is a nice touch as well. Even the little things, like the Wellness Program, really convey that the company cares about the employees and values them as a major asset and not a liability.

Cons

Apple is a very exclusive company to work for and they know it. The pay isn't as high as one could get elsewhere, and sometimes minor infractions, like talking about a possible upcoming product launch, are enough to get you dismissed. Also, while my training, expertise, and career path lie with either repair of computers or education of users, I'm stuck in a sales job until a manager determines that I've met some benchmark that seems, at this time, to be completely arbitrary.

Pros

Despite the fact that it all boils down to selling products, Apple makes me feel like I'm actually accomplishing something. I leave work every day with the feeling that I've changed and improved our customer's lives, which is very rewarding. The entire atmosphere of the company is really refreshing, and inspires employees to do a great job. Everyone who works there has a great sense of humor and there's not a single employee there that I don't like. The benefits and promotions are a big plus as well, as there are literally hundreds of companies giving big discounts to Apple employees. I always check Apple's list of partners before I make any electronics-related purchase, as 90 percent of them qualify for a discount. The most rewarding part of working at the Retail store is getting to be the person who introduces customers to the amazing technology that Apple comes up with. It's an incredible feeling when you open up whole new worlds of productivity and creativity to strangers.

Cons

As part of their intensive training, there are a few mandatory meetings every month that could possibly conflict with time off. The retail store is a customer service job, so you do have to interact with customers. Most of them are happy and are thrilled to see the awesome products, but occasionally you'll get some really pissy customers who have just had their computer fried and think you're to blame. Working at the front as a greeter can be pretty stressful and hectic, which really wear an employee out after a few hours. There really aren't too many downsides to the job, I really do love working there.
