Fun people to work with, stressful environment for retail.
Pros: The Apple culture is a great way to learn to deal with ambiguity and decent company to work for. They provide resources and motivation to move in the company. The biggest pro is the people that you encounter while working there. They are the best people you could ask to work with! Friendly and welcoming the entire culture can be very warm.
Cons: There is fairly little room for upward mobility in the retail side of things. Apple hires very enthusiastic people who are mostly highly intelligent and motivated. Trying to get ahead can both be rewarding and frustrating, because everyone is at mostly the same level. After a while it seems as if there is no more room for motion inside the little world that they have built. The culture is fun at first, but can be overwhelming.
