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.

Pros

For a technology junkie it's a serious daily fix. Given tremendous amounts of responsibility and anonymity, far beyond any normal retail positions. Typically, compensation can be extremely good, but make sure you negotiate very well. For some reason people seem impressed when you say you work for Apple!

Cons

Serious Reality Deficit. Disfunctional internal workings for just about everything everything. The company is so concerned about outward impressions that it's impact on internal function is detrimental. No clear (or unclear) development paths within the company. A highly clique oriented / playing politics type company.
