Growth
Pros: This job has opened doors to incredible opportunities for education and growth over the years. Apple has been accommodating when personal obstacles detracted from business needs. The leadership teams have provided a lot of support of not only myself but for colleagues to take what amounted to customer service retail position to moving on to corporate. Currently being led to make a transfer to software development teams. Not what was expected when I was hired but definitely a great surprise. Reach for the sky, do the work and Apple will help you get there.
Cons: The most challenging position I've ever held in terms of patience, time management and stress. The volume of interactions you lead while working the bar is mentally draining. Everyday feels like a test of your own personal abilities as the questions the average consumer will have almost always seem counter intuitive to the way technology works. Most want to be hand held doing the most mundane to extreme tasks all without doing the diligence to learn how our technology will enable them.
