Stressful retail environment . Poor work life bal. High turnover.  Managemnt favoritism. Limited Career
Pros: Some good benefits .  If you haven’t had prior experience you can gain some basic skills learned at most corporate culture operations.   Gain some good working relationships.
Cons: Poor salary in retail environment little advancement opportunities. Rampant favoritism by management. No work life balance.  Management does not recognize you for your work and has a hard time deciphering people’s true skill sets and capabilities.  They make poor decisions in regards to offering promotions and career opportunities to those who are truly qualified vs someone who can get by  just acting the part, say the right lingo play a role you got the job.  Very stressful and demanding anxiety ridden environment Which upper management and executives at corporate are totally unaware of and oblivious of what is really going on.  They act like it’s an open door policy to speak to whoever at any level of management but truth is they block information just enough so that doesn’t reach the decision-makers .  lower management likes to report they got everything under control that they’re taking care of it for you and they always say they’re going to send it up the chain but it never really gets there because they don’t want to act like they contributed to employees who are unhappy or that they are part of the problem of why you need to see change .  It seems only corporate employees are compensated for the type of work they do even though the retail workers are what driving the companies profits in general .  The amount of sales a single employee makes if they made commission they would be very well-off and consumers assume Apple employees at the retail level must be well paid for the type of customer service they strive to deliver and shocked to discover they are poorly compensated while delivering this top notch level of service.
