Pros

The people that work at Apple are wonderful and it is good fun. If money or long time career aspirations aren't important then it might be a good place to work. Probably would be a good place for a college student living at home looking for some extra bucks, or retiree's that can't bring home too much for fear of upsetting the balance with Social Security.

Cons

I worked there for nearly a year and half and it is a good place to work, although if you need to raise a family it won't pay near enough. The only way to get out of the measly salary is through management and they don't have a clear path to follow if that is the direction you wish to pursue. If you move from one area to another they will not match your salary and will make you go through the interview process again. Also, they have gone from an easy going educational sort of salesperson to the entire concentration being on making your numbers (solutions). If you don't make your numbers (selling the ad on's) then you won't be promoted to full time and you will be subject to pressure from the bosses to sell, sell, sell those solutions! Even when you make it to full-time the pressure is intense to sell those ad on's. It's a major competition with no real rewards for making your numbers - other than the ASM's getting bonus' on your behalf. Of course, they won't share that with the employee's. Also, you need to enjoy working weekends and nights.

Pros

excellent $$$$, usually some free software. you get to wear your own clothes (except for the t-shirt and lanyard they make you wear.)

Cons

The place went from being a very lax work environment that cared about it's employees to a very much numbers and sales oriented operation that made employees cut-throat against one another. got rid of bonuses, and barely gave any free iPods or iphone away. I remember the days of bonuses, lots of free iPods, and even a free iPhone. It's sad when it's employees can't even afford to own the products their selling. Also, ? used to have a more rigid hiring process, now they'll pretty much take you off the street even if you don't know what a computer is. Kind of a sexist, homophobic, racist environment to work in at times.
