Pros

Better pay than any retail place that I have worked for or even heard of, looks great on the resume, great discounts to apple products and various third party products as well, Finally, a hidden perk is that the customers that you meet can provide great networking if you talk to them the right way (I help out people from Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, GE, NBC, US Government, ETC); I have had the opportunity to pick their brain about their careers, and receive any advice they can give me for the future job market once I graduate school.

Cons

Stores can get very cliquey, depending on which store you are in. Other than that, it's a great part time job that will enhance your professional advancement.

Pros

Absolutely loved working for Uncle Steve. The corporation, even as a corporation, was a great thing to be a part of. Loved the services I provided to the public, even when they were challenging and unappreciative.

Cons

I had things thrown at me by customers who were less than satisfied by the company line. But that kind of goes with the territory of working technical service in any industry.
