Pros

If you love Apple and it's products, it's a great place to work. Of course with any job there are bad times, but honestly I can't remember a day when I didn't have fun at work. The customers might not have always been the greatest, but working with the great people at Apple always seemed to reverse anything a customer could do.

Cons

Management definitely likes to micro-manage. If your a Genius be prepared to give up your pride whenever a customer isn't happy, your given policies and procedures on everything but if that doesn't work for a customer, your manager will make it work for them. It's fun being a Genius, but being in a retail environment will knock the wind right out of that sail.

Pros

Interesting job environment, and just a cool company in general. Flexible on personal stuff, some advancement for growth -- course it depends if you're retail or corporate. In general, my experience was pretty positive. I don't think it's the best place in the world to work, but it would rank pretty high on my list, and I would consider going back if some changes were made (more on my side than Apple's).

Cons

Nothing company-specific. Of course you can run into micro-management, which happens everywhere. Sometimes the lack of information was annoying, although that's to be expected with product launches, etc.

Pros

JOB SECURITY in these current times of economic downturn apple have said they will not be letting anyone go. The people within the company are great, thats the co-workers, everybody in the team brings something different. the atmosphere is great, at times demanding, but isn't every job? the discount perks are good, its nice to get a present from the company near xmas or at a product launch iphone/ipod. Looks great on a CV, working for a innovative company.

Cons

sometimes we, as mac geniuses are overworked and underpaid, except this happens nearly all the time, altho when signing up for the job "you are expected to work longer than needed without extra numeration". i can except this to a point but when one of your co workers who started the job 3 months before you and even after gets a few thousand £s more than you it really burns you up inside. some management never follow thru with requests, and apparently after speaking to hr, "you have to keep chasing them up". speaking to people who have worked in the US stores, there is a big difference in the way things are done, there is a divide between retail staff and other apple staff, something which isnt present in the US where everybody is apple. the lies you are fed during recruiting about career progression and paths you can take, its a retail environment you can only really move sideways in the store.
