Pros

You are working at a company that is the official distributor of Apple products in Southern Africa,. Their training is excellent and you can get it at highly reduced prices or even for free. You also get a discount on all Apple products. You get to learn the "Apple Way" having access to limited but insightful training and resources, if you want to know about excellent customer service then work at Apple or a subsidiary. The online sales training makes it really easy to sell Apple products (which are already an easy sell).

Cons

They are riding on the name of Apple in California. They have a poor support system locally and this in turn makes you look bad to customers. The managers only think of themselves in terms of time and financial reward - the comission is low if you are selling and they expect you to give up your life. No-one really knew what was happening with senior management, and they were extremely underhanded. Mkae sure you know what position you are going in to and ensure your job description is specific.

Pros

The best reasons to work for Apple is the ability to have exciting work. You can work on exciting technology that changes the industry. Furthermore, many managers at Apple provide ample flexibility in coordinating work and personal life. There have been many instances in which I was able to accommodate a personal task within a work day or work vacation in when I wanted, not necessarily when the company wanted. The amount of respect the company gives you is also very rewarding. You're not treated as a replaceable piece, but rather as a valuable asset that they would like to keep around for a long time.

Cons

It seems that the pay is low. However, with the perks of personal flexibility, respect, and meaningful work, I'm not sure I would work anywhere else. The level of secrecy at Apple can also be irritating if you're in engineering.

Pros

Rewarding experiences, working with people who enjoy the products. Above average base salary, perfect for students. Very flexible weekly scheduling. Impressive employee discounts. By design, you aren't paid on commission, so both you and the customer won't have to go through the motions of selling/buying products you don't want to.

Cons

Customers, understandably very sensitive about their computer-related investments, get a bit testy sometimes and take their anger out on you, when they are often the cause of their own problem.
