Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

Good pay, not great support
Pros: The pay, considering that this is a retail job, is definitely higher than most/practically all other retail jobs. The benefits are good, and the teams are friendly and exciting. Obviously there's job security since Apple isn't going anywhere for a while.
Cons: Politics for promotions, etc. is expected, but for a retail job, this is a little ridiculous. People literally get promoted for sleeping with managers. If you think that Apple owners can be snobby, try Apple employees. There's a huge disconnect between corporate and store. The company does not care about employees, they are ID numbers. There is very little opportunity for promotion, unless you're willing to play dirty politics, and there is absolutely no opportunity for promotion to corporate, although they constantly talk about how there is. This is not the same company of stores that Steve Jobs and Ron Johnson made, now it's all about the money, never about the customer.
