Great Job
Pros: I worked at the Fifth Avenue Apple Store for a year along with some other Apple Stores before leaving the company.  It was a great ride.  The people of Fifth Avenue are amazing, the managers are caring and genuine and the pay was great, the benefits were excellent and they invest a lot of time into your personal growth and education.  There are always opportunities to grow within the company.  I grew into different roles consistently and so did my colleagues; many becoming leaders and trainers.  It's a very laid back environment, no one micromanages you and they trust that you'll get your tasks done.  There's no quota or commission so there's no pressure to sell or "do better".. It's very much about giving the customer a wonderful experience.  At every store I worked at, there was always food provided on a consistent basis and on Holidays there's always a huge hot food spread along with device giveaways.  They always work with your schedule and give you the time off you need.  This was by far the best job I'd ever had, so far.
Cons: At the Fifth Ave store, the hours are difficult and can become stressful if you're not up for intense customer traffic, fast paced environments and long hours.  At times there are inconsistencies amongst management regarding how we should handle situations.
