Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Specialist
Pros: Decent Benefits; Very Busy; Chance to help people with complex issues and problem solving; Awesome co-workers; Good pay for retail. Apple is a great place to work to launch yourself into almost any field. Every time a potential employer sees Apple on my resume, they think smart, savvy, qualified, and tested.
Cons: Growth is often fleeting. Easier to move about the store in lower-level position, but leadership positions are the pot of gold for most people who want to stay with the company. Apple does not hire many of its retail employees for its corporate offices, and management was, at one time, rarely a position given to an insider (without some major sucking-up). Wonderful place to work, but go in knowing what the end goal is, otherwise, you may find yourself eight years in and still just a specialist. It is quite easy to get complacent at Apple retail, even if you go in with other goals.
