Great company and great people, but working in a retail environment has its challenges.

Pros

Excellent and friendly coworkers, and a good work environment. Apple is on the cutting edge of technology. Apple actually cares about customer service, and the store definitely leans toward making customers happy. We are allowed a lot of latitude in this regard as well. The benefits are excellent; we get medical, dental, vision, 401k. There is also an employee stock purchase program. Good career opportunities for the future.

Cons

Retail has no set work hours, they vary every week. Weekends off are a rare occurrence. Working with customers can be very stressful at times. Compensation is good but not great, it should be higher.

Pros

Apples compensation plan is by far one of the highest in retail.After working retail for over 3 years, and finding apple, I am already extremely satisfied. The add-ons as a specialist are part of job and its the same as all retail, push the product to the customers. Apple puts its people right after its customers, which is very rare. They ask you how you think the company is doing once a quarter with a survey. They also provide a great discount plan!

Cons

Apple is very demanding and the customers are very needy. You need to be extremely patient and be able to deal with difficult people on a daily basis.
