The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions
Pros: A diverse collection of  brilliant, truly wonderful people who really want to help you.
Cons: You really have to love retail, and be willing to have very little work/life balance. If you want to have a life and friends outside of work, don't work here. The philosophy of Apple is great, their intentions are basically very good, however, in practice their main concern is for the business. While this is understandable (they are in business to make money, after all), they don't seem to be able to play out their ideals in real-life. Their "internal customers" (employees) definitely get the short end of the stick. If you want time off, you'd better be willing to fight for it and request it months in advance.
All of that being said, they do try to do the right thing... they just don't manage to pull it off very well.
Difficult to advance, even with a lot of experience.
