Great culture, product & teams!
Pros: Products sell - sounds simplistic but for anyone who has worked in an environment where sales forecasts are unrealistic and the product development is static this makes for a challenging sales management environment. Fortunately, this is not the case at Apple. Goals are ambitious but achievable thanks to product quality, focus on user privacy and support/troubleshoots available to resolve occasional system downtimes.

Great culture and benefits - benefits outside of your salary are great! People hired aren’t just intelligent but also personable!
Cons: Work/ Life balance - retail stores follow standard retail shift work so no guarantee of weekends off and public holidays. Although you can make requests which are usually supported unless it’s a busy period.

Monotony - the work can seem at times monotonous and not intellectually stimulating. Apple make their own softwares and tweak processes throughout the year based on customer and employee feedback but not drastically so sometimes it can feel like groundhog day.
