      Different. In a Good Way.

      Pros

      Apple is unquestionably a cool company and working for it definitely feels different (and better) than other retail gigs I've had. Benefits are great and you really do become better at what you do the longer you're there and in a meaningful way. Things can get hectic, but all in all, it's more fun than other retail without a doubt.

      Cons

      The usual retail blahs. Salary is not as high as it should be for genuinely skilled and knowledgeable employees. Customers occasionally make you want to pull your hair out, so it's not for people with a lack of patience.

      Not the best job, but I'm not quitting anytime soon

      Pros

      Great benefits, good discounts on the products, getting to learn while on the job, awesome t-shirts, discounted stock, excellent company to have on a resume, usually a pretty fun work environment Day to day the job is pretty cool. Most coworkers are on the same wavelength as you, so it's usually pretty easy to get a long with people. Higher up in the chain, it appears that the top level of management really does listen to employee concerns and they make attempts to address problems. (Unfortunately this is usually botched by local level management). Overall though, it's a great day job, but not something I want to do for the rest of my life.

      Cons

      Retail hours (including weekends and holidays), the occasional obnoxious customer, absolutely no transparency from management, expectations of work don't match the pay rate, promotions are based on manager preference rather than job performance, additional responsibilities without pay raises are given to people all the time so they get burnt out, summers and holidays are almost unbearably busy At my location specifically, I'm not a big fan of my management. I think they're mostly inept. This doesn't reflect on the company as a whole, but it's the main reason I'm somewhat dissatisfied here. Beyond my local and market managers, it at least appears that there are some competent people, but then again we've never actually met them, either.

      Apple. Think Different, or DO NOT DEVIATE?

      Pros

      The best reason to work for AAPL is the stock, the street cred after the fact, the discounts and occasional free iPod/iPhone, and meeting customers who love the product. Benefits if you survive the bureaucratic gauntlet to FT

      Cons

      Choke hold on company transparency. Conflicting must-do requirements from managers who have less technical knowledge than they advertise. Pay is retail, not tech company. Reality distortion field requires brain bleach Kool-Aid Working at Apple destroyed my love for it as a company. Misrepresenting company policies to customers. Essentially, AAPL puts as much effort into pretending it is a flawless company as it should into being honest and forward to customers.
