Pros

life skills on how to deal with people and how to develop yourself. the people and tema you work with, you will never find another team like it. lots of interesting talents and skills that you can utilize outside of work. i.e.. most are creative people photographers, DJs, musicians, so you definitely get the benefits of working with and also having help from them. there are so many pros, that is until you learn nd develop and realize that once you've learned everything you can. The cons list outweighs the reason to stay.

Cons

NO SUCH THING AS WORK LIFE BALANCE. You will work 12pm-9pm, then the next day 8am-5pm. then the following 11am-8pm. You will dedicate your life 45hours a week (each day you have 9 hour shifts but an unpaid lunch for 1 hour)to this job but will never fulfill your outside life. they harp on it and try to convince you that it work life balance are taken into consideration, but its not. You must request off 4-5 weeks in advance and hope no one else that has the same position you do did because then it will be denied. IF you do get your request by luck, then you will absolutely work an opening shift the following day. thats that 8am shift the day after you want to have off. Expect to work every weekend unless you consistently kiss the toes of management. they outsource positions with titles and don't often promote within. if they do promote you from within you will not see any kind of increase in pay, just enough to say hey you get a dollar more. However, the people they outsource who have no understanding of the culture, products, or people they work with but had a "manager" title at another company will get paid 1.5 times more than you to do less work because they don't get most of the processes.

Pros

My fellow coworkers are great and supportive, that's honestly all I've got. Not much else is that good. The benefits are awesome.

Cons

TERRIBLE work life balance. Constantly understaffed and severely strapped for resources. People are constantly quitting and no one is being hired to supplement the amount of support we need. Our customer traffic is rapidly increasing, and we're expected to do WAY more with WAY less. The Higher ups in the company are constantly talking about "retail evolution", when the fact is the company is losing people faster than ever. As a result, morale is EXTREMELY low and just about everyone there only works for a paycheck. People are overworked and call out just to get some peace of mind. No one is passionate about their work anymore, and Apple is now just like every other retailer.

Pros

Worked from home. Job could be fun.

Cons

Low pay. Robotic system of rating you. Very very low chance of advancement. They won't even tell you what's required to advance. A customer wrote in that they were going to shoot up an Apple Store and I forwarded it to the FBI and the Apple fired me for it. Said it was private info I shared. So basically if they learn about a terrorist threat they won't tell law enforcement because it's considered private info.
