      Don't hope for advancement.

      Specialist

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Relaxed environment, relaxed attire. Freedom (to an extent) of how you can present the products. People are generally good to work with (case by case).

      Cons

      Management stresses various opportunities for advancement and "everyone starts as specialists", but contradict themselves by bringing in less qualified individuals from competing retail outlets for higher positions. Management has poor communication with each other. For the amount you make for the company, your salary will be significantly lower than 10%. This is demeaning.

      Great job for people who don't know what it's like to be treated like a human being.

      Mac specialist (apple store)

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You will be in the midst of cutting edge, cool technology and will be seen as cool by your friends and customers. You'll only need to by pants, undies, socks, and shoes since you'll always have a new t-shirt. You get discounts on equipment. You may be able to see products that are never put on the sales floor.

      Cons

      You are there to be kicked by the customer, while management holds you down. They never stop thinking of news ways to work you, while your paycheck stagnates. Communications of company policies is sporadic. You are expected to keep up with the technology on person, unpaid time by customers and management, which is too much to ask for a job paying at this level. Management can be arrogant, oblivious, and mean-spirited all at once. You are not allowed to miss time for an ill relative - not even for a day. If you have a real, full-time job other than Apple, Apple will hire you and then assume it is first. There is absolutely no concern for employee safety. Music that is racist, sexist against some employees is allowed to play in BOH (Back of House) with no intervention from management. Management has been known to throw things at employees.

      Dead end.

      Mac genius

      Pros

      Creative people are drawn to apple. There is a good benefits package

      Cons

      The pay does not match the level of work that is asked of you. The stores are understaffed. There is minimal support from the management. The pay is horrible so the people that work there are horrible also. The customers are frequently nasty to employees (mostly because of the chaos of the store and the lack of staff) The Mac Genius position is a dead end.
