      Pros

      Great co-workers, good sense of camaraderie. Great benefits, great discounts. Proud to be helping people get such an amazing product. Very good training resources, constant internal systems and efficiency improvements, open to suggestions.

      Cons

      VERY POOR advancement possibilities for Geniuses at Apple Stores. You're basically topped out unless you want to be management. Few geniuses ever make it to corporate. Really crappy schedule, typical of retail is nights and weekends. As a Genius, you are a customer service rep, you take a lot of abuse from customers in person, and often get forced to try to sell things to customers who are not in a good mood to begin with.

      Apple can be exciting to work for, but it's a rough ride. Not for the faint-hearted.

      Pros

      Everyone knows where you work and they think it's awesome. You get to play with all of the latest software and toys, and work for one of the most profitable companies in the world.

      Cons

      Apple is very secretive. It can be difficult to know what's going on ahead of time, and then all of the sudden, you need to shift and adapt. Schedules are very rough and change a lot. Releases, and crunch-time seems omni-present. It can be overwhelming. If your strengths do not include constant adaptation to continuous change, then Apple will frustrate you.

      Pros

      Great co-workers, that make it worth coming in to work. Great salary compared to similar retailers. Every day is different.

      Cons

      Rude and loud customers who get what hey want for being rude and loud. working retail hours, weekends and evenings. Only know your work schedule, one week in advance. Management almost recognizes when you do a good job but is very quick to give you negative feedback when they feel you're not. Almost no room for advancement.
