Working at Apple Retail is amazing because of the people you work with.
Pros: The people hired at Apple are usually brilliant and talented people.  Work is always challenging and the time flies.  You're the first to experience all the latest and greatest technology Apple has to offer.  The skills developed at Apple are applicable to many different career paths.  You have the opportunity, if you're a hard worker to travel world wide and have international experiences few companies can afford their employees.
Cons: It's easy to hit a dead end with different roles, they only promote so far within the retail level and moving into Apple Corporate is next to impossible.  From an IT standpoint it still difficult to leverage your technical knowledge when applying for tech support positions with other companies.  Work can be exhausting, retail hours are unpredictable and fluctuate based on seasons and product launches.  Speaking to Leadership about Compensation is very difficult, you have a yearly review and that's it.
