Fun but frustrating at times
Pros: Great products, tremendously talented team members in all areas of store.  Very loyal customers. Fast paced environment.
Cons: Difficult to provide consistently great service to business customers as business retail policies aren't well developed for business needs. Very difficult to get anyone on team promoted.  Moving into openings at other stores is difficult to get approved.  High pressure role for managers without much support.  Review process can be completely subjective with little attention paid to objective goals.  Very little direction given on how to improve performance.  Committee approach to reviews does at times descend to vague discussions on your personality and fit. Favouritism does play a large role within Apple retail. Result is high turnover rate of management team most leave or are moved out in under two years.  Some don't last past a month.
