Pros

-the benefits they offer you are fantastic, and more than likely the main reason you would stick around for so long. -the pay is good, especially for retail, but you will be stretched THIN. when you work at apple retail, you are expected to do every single job in the store, no matter how short-staffed your current position is. things get VERY political and dramatic when it comes to promotions, and there is SO much favoritism used, as well as subtle racism (depending on location). -coworkers are great, depending on location. great networking opportunity

Cons

-you will be stretched THIN. when you work at apple retail, you are expected to do every single job in the store, no matter how short-staffed your current position is. -things get VERY political and dramatic when it comes to promotions, and there is SO much favoritism used, as well as subtle racism (depending on location). -they say they'll help you advance, but many have realized that this is a farce. there are so many hard workers in the same positions they were in over 5 years ago who have the necessary skills to move along in the company, but office politics and favoritism comes into play. -too much sucking up to bosses necessary. if you dont, you will be targeted to be removed from the company very aggressively -the customers. the customers. the customers. so entitled, and this is retail.

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
