Pros

Have you read technology news? We are the leaders.

Cons

Sometimes long hours are expected but when you are doing what you love I don't find it to be an issue.

Pros

Apple employees are very passionate about the company they work for. They love Apple and the products Apple makes, so every day was fun to work because you were around people who really loved their employer. Apple offers incredible benefits and amazing training so employees know what they are selling and enjoy selling it. Communication was great between management and employees. Managers truly cared about the employees as people and the employees treated each other like family. The atmosphere on the floor of a store and also behind the scenes was fantastic and fun. Apple is leading the technology drive in so many ways and it's fun to be a big part of introducing their genius to others.

Cons

Pay was not great, and raises were small and spread far apart. If you work at a small retail store, opportunities for advancement are not great. Slow stores are not very exciting to work in. Unless you want to be a manager, there are not great opportunities for large pay or salary, that I'm aware off, minus going to work at corporate, which was pretty much everyone's dream. Retail seemed like a small offshoot of corporate and a gateway for many of my fellow employees. Focus on sales and metrics was not very fun for workers who were more technically or creatively gifted, but unfortunately the metrics drove too much of the job.

Pros

Apple is a very family-like environment. We're all very supportive of each other and very willing to help where it's needed. Everyone is encouraged to give feedback, where needed, and to accept feedback that they receive to make it a learning tool. Apple is also very education oriented, wanting to provide the most opportunity to learn about their products and services as possible to their employees. The pay is excellent for being a retail store, and the discount is outstanding. In most cases, you're given the opportunity to really shine, where with other companies you're discouraged from making decisions for yourself.

Cons

While they're not necessarily stingy with hours, they could certainly to with opening up more full time positions. It's very difficult to concentrate on doing your job when you don't feel valued enough to be given a full time slot. The promotion system is a little convoluted, as well. The interview is informal, especially when they've already decided on who they'll be promoting. It almost seems as though they interview the other so-called candidates just for show. The people who truly do deserve the full time positions aren't the ones who receive them - it seems that the ones who get them are the ones who made "friends" so that they'd get it, with or without an interview.
