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

Love the people, was okay with the crowds, despised the rate of pay.
Pros: Felt like I was getting paid to befriend and teach some amazing people.  I loved the products since the 80s and the environment was electric, exciting and there was a lot of love at my store despite 3 management changes in 4 years.
Cons: The richest company in the world made over 50 billion while I worked there and paid poverty.  As a part time Specialist working 30+ hours, I was rewarded by qualifying for an earned income tax credit.  The quality of the Specialist staff seemed to decrease.  HR seemed to be moving away from hiring "Apple Fanboys/girls" who brought a wealth of knowledge to the table, to more of an Ex-Gap/Ex-BestBuy who are learning on the fly.
