Cult-like
Pros: I love the ability to be able to help people with their products and show them how it works. I don't feel like i am pushing our product on a customer because we're not asked to and i do believe in everything i tell a customer. It also gives me a chance to work on people skills seeing as we get hundreds of people through our doors daily
Cons: On the weekends it seems that the genius bar is well understaffed. The sales side of the store seems to be favored a bit with all the new hires and also with the emphasis during daily meetings with most of it being about how great they do and what they can do to sell more. Also some managers seem to be playing favorites with people. The biggest turn off about working here is that it feels like a cult sometimes. Everyone is so crazy about everything apple and if you're not you're looked at as an outcast. Also, if you're not someone thats nonstop smiling about god knows what and aren't always yakking off about something then you'll never get recognized for the hard work that you do. I've been busting my butt off here for a while now and i have not once gotten recognized at a meeting for it (these meetings have a "recognition" portion in them where everyone recognizes someone for their hard work). It's always the same few people giving the recognition to the same few people. Most of the people that work there seem to be trying to compensate for something with their arrogant attitudes or maybe they've been working in southlake so long that the customers' attitudes have brushed off on them.
