      Great place to work... but not a permanant solution for a college grad.

      Pros

      Cool company, outstanding growth potential, and enough action in a day's work to keep you from getting bored. You'll meet all sorts of people. Especially if you get into the habbit of doing Personal Shopping appointments, or you are entered into a GYO program.

      Cons

      If you think having a college education will get you ahead while working at apple retail..... you're wrong. Which is good for the regular joe... but sucks for the degree holders. I love my job... but when it kind of burns to see the 18 year old fresh out of high school working right along side a 30 year old with a Bachelors degree.

      Get ready to be the center of attention in retail frustration.

      Pros

      IF - if - you qualify, getting benefits for a retail job is definitely a plus. Currently I'm scheduled for 39 hours a week - just shy of the standard 40 that pushes you into a "full-time" employee. It's frustrating. It's not uncommon to be asked to pick up shifts for other employees, but in the end that doesn't affect your status as full-time as opposed to part-time. The camaraderie, though, that's something else. I've worked in two different Apple stores but always felt like I had an instant group of friends when I've joined. The employees are usually smart, savvy people. Nerdy to some degree, yes, but also very often very hip and very passionate about something in the creative arts. If it wasn't for these guys, I never would have come back to work for Apple retail in the first place.

      Cons

      Oh, those high-traffic hours. Definitely a good but bad thing. Understandably, people get emotional about their technology products. When you are not the "Genius," you are often caught in the sticky situation of explaining product limitations or product issues with your customers while releasing very little information. Never expect your customers to know your limits. Working Apple retail requires a lot of patience and a lot of people skills. Apple used to be an almost boutique-y computer store, but more and more it's attracting people for whom the system and the company are foreign worlds. There's going to be a lot of hand-holding involved in your time as a Apple retail employee. Of course, you may also be faced with know-it-alls, in which case, you just gotta listen to their esoteric talk and grin.

      At least you always get paid on time.

      Pros

      You can say you work for Apple. At least you always get paid on time. You get good health benefits, discount stock purchase every 6 months, 401k matching up to 6% (less than 2 years 50% match, 2-5 years 75% match, over 5 years 100% match)

      Cons

      Trying to deal with problems with cutting edge technology while customer are upset at you for 8 hours a day. Standing on your feet all day while trying to solve complex problems is mentally and physically draining.
