Overall rating: 4/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Pretty decent but no opportunity to advance
Pros: People! I dont have a bad thing to say about anyone I work with

Pay is pretty good for a retail job

The customer interactions are also pretty good fun. If you have banter and smile and do your best to find the best solution for the customer you will find the work very rewarding.

Perks - Apple being Apple gives pretty generous discounts on products, it also offers a pension scheme to all staff, even those working 15 hours a week, as well as discounted stock.

environment - the stores are light and in some ways rather beautiful. Management would rarely micromanage and support you to do what you think is best.
Cons: If you want to climb the ladder I would completely forget about it. Working for Apple Retail will get you NOWHERE near Apple Corporate. Lots of other employers however, including many customers, do appreciate your skills. Many staff in my store got offered jobs from customers. 

Sometimes all the company talk and stupid phrases can be excruciating. You think 'omg, did you just say that?!'....it really is that stupid.
