Pros

- Interesting & diverse coworkers - Very cool area to work in. - Competitive pay (for retail) - Great stepping stone for your next job (Apple on the resume never hurts) - Awesome perks (if you graduate from seasonal employee to part-time) - You learn to be an extrovert very fast - Interviewing skills for life - Sweet training experience - Great support with whatever you need honestly

Cons

- It's still retail. - Insufferable customers + hovering managers = pain - TRAFFIC AND ROAD CLOSURES ALL THE TIME - Pay for parking $$$$ - Information overload - Company and CEO are questionable - Difficult work life balance especially if you're a student - Communication with management is a maze - I can't overstate just how spoiled these customers are. If you're not used to being around this tax bracket: brace yourself.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
