      Employees are expendable -- get a few years of experience and move on to something better with Apple name on your resume

      Pros

      The place is loosely managed and you may have an opportunity to work on significant project by fluke. You could gain considerable amount of experience because of that.

      Cons

      The place is chaotic. (probably true for any consumer electronic company) Everyone is an individual contributor essentially, so most of the time, your managers don't have good understanding of what/how you're doing. The promotion is very difficult to come by. Internal politics are quite ugly. HR can't help you at all.

      All employees are over-qualified and stuck working there, due to Apple's hiring process based on personality.

      Pros

      It is a prestigious place to work because the best personalities are hired on.

      Cons

      Retail hierarchy, the corporation holding a carrot in front of your nose incessantly. Laughable wages, and even more bitingly hilarious system for raises.(not based on individual performance and is only once a year. Best wage increase being $.50-$.75 to hope for.)

      Pros

      Computer discount. The fun people you work with.

      Cons

      Disrespect from managers- they treat people as less than them. Poor store leadership. Geniuses-who also treat people as less than them. Poor pay. The "cult-like" atmosphere. The pressure to upsell add-ons: Mobile me, applecare, onetoone.
