Pros

You're involved in something that's changing the world. That's huge & exciting in itself. You're also working with very very intelligent people, so there's always an opportunity to learn. The cafeteria is phenomenal & you can wear whatever you like.

Cons

A lot is done manually. We focus on the customer experience & do what we have to do on the back end to make it seamless, so things don't work as smoothly behind the curtains as you'd imagine. There are also some VERY interesting characters that work here - you've got to be someone that is flexible in your work style & can communicate with various personality types.

Pros

Apple is a company with a huge focus on customer satisfaction and delivering transformational products. There are many useful CSE and selling techniques that are taught. These techniques are a solid foundation for any selling environment. The products are constantly changing and updating so there is a challenge involved in making sure the employees are constantly training to be knowledgeable about all the products.

Cons

The structure for advancement is very basic. Retail takes a big hit given our current economic situation so it is difficult to balance a staff of the right size and keep a consistent schedule. Vacation time is not that great.

Pros

Smart co-workers, good products, pretty campus.

Cons

Change the world? If you mean feeding starving kids in Africa, that's Bill Gates. Apple makes slick products for yuppies. In exchange, you get huge work hours, medium pay and benefits. This is okay though; it's not so different essentially from other companies. Worst problem is some of mid-level management. I've never seen the level of pettiness and in a couple of cases, viciousness toward employees anywhere else that I've seen here. It's not throughout the whole company, but there are a couple of sectors that are really bad, and they have lost people because of it. You have to be very careful about the mid to senior level management you'll work for.
