Employment status: current

Good experience, rewarding job, but hard to fit into long term career.
Pros: Good place to work, great team, casual working environment, commitment to diversity.  Interacting with the customer base can be rewarding.  Good benefits of both traditional benefits and product discounts.  Favorable brand recognition --everyone is excited to be involved with Apple.  The job gives your exposure to a variety of both different coworkers and customers --all unique.  It is a growing experience.  Great working atmosphere.
Cons: Compensation is not directly related to quality of work.  Company politics and favoritism seems to be a problem --management's favorable circle is promoted to the exclusion of other employees.  The usual retail drag --weekends, difficult to obtain full time or ideal part time situation.
