Pros

The corporation as a whole is a wonderful place to work. The training is excellent, and the support from corporate is wonderful. You'll learn so much that will help you later in life about technology. You'll also associate with a great array of people in both your fellow staffers and the customers: artists, programmers, health care providers, business people. You get to see new products and new technologies first hand. You also get to have a unique position to learn what's going on in the small developers community. One more thing: it's incredibly rewarding to help guide people to technology tools that are going to make their lives more interesting.

Cons

You're at the tow of local managers, who themselves often don't live up to Apple's mission or culture. Often times, the managers of the local retail stores will present themselves to their corporate managers as if they're all about the Apple culture, and then turn around to be the meanest people in the world. In my experience, the workers at my store were consistently appalled at how viscous our general manager was to customers and fellow employees alike. He would do or say anything to keep somebody from returning something, even if it was a blatant mis-statement of Apple policy. Management is in a unique position to distort Apple policy and culture on the ground, and it was shocking to see. It is ultimately why I decided to leave.

Pros

It is an extremely fun place to be. Coworkers are easy to work with. The work environment is friendly. We get great discounts on our product(s).

Cons

It is a sales job. We do not do "hard" sales, but your ultimate goal is still to sell the product. It is a very, very busy place. As a part time employee, my schedule varies a lot from one week to the next.

Pros

the products, the perks, and the benefits

Cons

the career mobility, the hours at a call center are rough and there is not much flexibility. you have to plan your life around your work, pretty soon your life becomes your work and not much else. it can be draining at times and if you are not careful you can slip into that mundane routine without anyway out. the communication pathways to escalate up and down needed work. if management needed to do something it would take some time before it would go up the pipeline or something would come down it.
