Good Resume Builder
Pros: Benefits, sales experience, tech experience, discounts, small sample of leading corporate culture, great staff to work with. My immediate reporting manager was amazing as was my store manager/HR. Most of the time sales were easy.
Cons: INADEQUATE TRAINING. I was someone who started without an abundance of tech knowledge. My team taught me something new every day, all day. Normally a good thing but not great when the store is swamped (which frequently happens) and you're essentially on your own. Still retail, Same challenges with any other retail position: Unrealistic hours (cant exactly be helped. Weekends and nights), Not enough Pay to scrape by (On the higher side of retail though.) "Unspoken" sales/business intro/apple accessory + service quotas. Zero incentive to achieve a top position in any previously mentioned categories, aside from recognition. Any advancement WILL require some outside education. Apple/ Store sponsorship does exist to some varying degree. Apple corporate and Apple retail are two ENTIRELY different entities. Just because an employee enters the Apple "eco-system" at a base level doesn't mean that the employee may have a better chance of securing a corporate career, even with an adequate curriculum vitae and professional experience. Experiences seem like more of a way to "tease" employees rather than show a glimpse of a future career.
