Great "Stepping Stone" Retail Job - If You Can Deal With Some Annoyances
Pros: Working in a high-end retail store, using technology every day, getting occasional discounts on the latest products (brands frequently give 50% off to get employees to own their products - making us more likely to sell them to customers), and occasionally networking with high-end customers
Cons: There are some strict policies in place, including the time and attendance policy, vacation requests that must be submitted a full month in advance, and the requirement that every employee list availability to work on both weekend days.  Smaller annoyances, such as achieving various sales metrics, micromanaging managers, and changes in policy that mean you can't always give the customer the full experience have made Apple Retail a less enjoyable place to work.
