Great place to learn and work hard, but not to make money.
Pros: You will learn so much working at Apple, I don't know where to start. It is sort of like going to a top  university in customer service / sales if you're paying attention. Also, you get a lot of perks and discounts. I pretty much bought a maxed out iMac for only $900 ... almost 2/3 off? Free unlimited iCloud, Apple Applications.. etc. 
Lastly, they are very flexible about people taking time off.
Cons: You have to drink the JUICE! You will be brainwashed. If you can't drink the Apple juice, this isn't the place for you. 

Apple doesn't pay well in far as actually salaries considering how much value their apple store workers bring to the table. They are first in line to market and create customer experiences about every new product Apple releases. It's not easy to work here, you need to know about MANY aspects of technology and about every phone carrier. You have to know everything about every phone carrier where as someone at AT&T only has to know about AT&T. 

For example, I did near $500k in sales my first and didn't see a dime of that in commission. Just worked for the same low hourly wage. 


Last, the work schedules suck because they are never consistent.
