Pros: Apple is a terrific company to work for, as long as you know what you're getting into.  There is a major focus owning your journey and development. Those that are self-motivated can objectively look at their skill set and focus in on particular behaviors that create success or opportunity. There is a self-sustaining culture of feedback that will test those behaviors - your team will provide feedback on your actions and their impact, and you will find yourself returning the favor quite often. The killer feature of this system is the assumption of positive intent, which allows us to have conversation about the negative impacts more openly. 

There is also a lot of ambiguity, which contributes greatly to our success. While there are rules and policies, we use them as a guide to make the best decision in the moment. Those that are used to rules and black and white may struggle to make a critical decision in the moment. 

Over the time I've spent there, we have been offered more and more career experience opportunities. It allows our team members to try a task outside of their current role, and many have been offered permanent placement afterwards.
Cons: It's still retail at the end of the day.
