Apple the company is okay, the store I worked in was not.
Pros: Great benefits.
Great coworkers.
Decent pay for retail.
Cons: Constant red tape to ge through if you want to do anything thanks to Corp.
Stressfully busy.
If you aren’t in sales or support on the floor, you are basically viewed as garbage.  Your contributions outside of those behaviors are never enough.
Apple likes to get rid of roles and tell everyone it’s “retail evolution”.
Constant advancement of people into roles they don’t deserve while qualified applicants are passed over.
Don’t have strong opinions about things needing improvement because you’ll never be taken seriously since you aren’t soft-spoken and full of woo-woo love.  Emotions are unacceptable.
Almost entire store management team are outside hires and favoritism is a real problem.
High-turnover whether management admits to it or not.
Corp likes to make decisions that are beyond painful for retail staff who has to deal with the effects (battery programs, anyone?)
