great retail position. retail transformation needs to go deeper
Pros: As someone who was probably qualified to work in engineering, I was really surprised how much I learned on the job - it was a fun job.   Met really amazing customers - had the freedom to spend up to an hour ensuring they got all the support they needed.   Was able to rotate around and spot teach people 1-on-1 and got recognized by customers.   one of my best experiences was sharing about the iPhone in the Apple Theater and really shifting customer mindsets - they have never heard anything so compelling!
Cons: having to stand all the time was taxing on my back (admittedly this was retail).   lack of more sophisticated benefits like personal development and career coaching from HR.  I did not feel my immediate manager was in the position to help me fully explore all the possibilities that were available to me at Apple outside of retail.
