Pros

Excellent pay, you don't have to serve people food, if you're in to consumer electronics it can be interesting sometimes, customers are usually nicer to you than they would be elsewhere. You get discounts on a lot of third party products that apple sells, and if you take more than just a seasonal job you also get discounts on apple products themselves. Having just a high base rate of pay rather than working on commission makes for a low pressure sales environment in which you can just be honest with the customer (most of the time).

Cons

A lot of standing, a lot of walking, constant pressure from managers to make high sales even though there is no commission.

Pros

Kind bosses, a lot of busy work and useful work. You aren't responsible for doing dumb things. You get paid time off, insurance, benefits. There are monthly bonuses and incentives. Your management is very nice and understand if things come up. The hours aren't bad. The customers are very responsive and enjoy speaking with you.

Cons

You don't get paid what you're worth, there are no commissions, your discount is sub par to the say the least. Holidays are hell on earth.

Pros

Great product, fun coworkers, fun overall atmosphere.

Cons

One word: Retail. If you already have a degree, and are hoping a job at the Apple Store will get you noticed in the corporate world, forget it. If you are a student and need a cool $10/per hour job, then go for it. Otherwise, expect to be treated as just a warm body - management may talk you up about opportunities, but they are only concerned with one thing: making a sale. Coworkers who toe-the-line in the surreal 1984-style atmosphere behind the polished steel and glass doors are rewarded while those who may have real-world experience but don't become the store manager's pet are not. Check your real world at the door when you take a job for Apple Retail, because you have just entered Ron Johnson's fantasy land domain where Apple Stores are synonymous to ivy league universities such as Stanford, but not surprisingly, salaries aren't!
