      Great company and great people, but working in a retail environment has its challenges.

      Pros

      Excellent and friendly coworkers, and a good work environment. Apple is on the cutting edge of technology. Apple actually cares about customer service, and the store definitely leans toward making customers happy. We are allowed a lot of latitude in this regard as well. The benefits are excellent; we get medical, dental, vision, 401k. There is also an employee stock purchase program. Good career opportunities for the future.

      Cons

      Retail has no set work hours, they vary every week. Weekends off are a rare occurrence. Working with customers can be very stressful at times. Compensation is good but not great, it should be higher.

      Great place to learn about making great consumer products but not about personal and professional development

      Pros

      Apple employes some fantastic people who are smart and hard working. The company is growing and continues to do well. From a brand standpoint, there are few better companies to work if you are in the tech/consumer products industry. Getting to work on exciting and successful products is a privilege. The culture is innovative and entrepreneurial. No bureaucracy or red tape in the way of getting things done.

      Cons

      Little empowerment from senior management. Little investment into personal and professional development. Meritocratic only to the extent that someone above you leaves (which happens infrequently). Politics can be nightmarish. Internal secrecy often conflicts with knowledge sharing and collaboration. Lack of process and structure. Need to aggressively manage your own career or you can end up staying in the same place forever.
