Great friends, reliable, fun
Pros: - Amazing people - seriously, because Apple focuses on your relatable qualities when they hire you, it creates an amazing environment of interesting and friendly people. I considerable my Apple co-workers a family and I've made amazing friends that I'll have for years to come.
- Learn every single day
- Awesome benefits and decent pay
- Fairly transparent management
- Opportunity for self-improvement. Some people can make Apple retail a career. But for those who aren't planning on that, their training allows for opportunities to improve on yourself. A lot of the skills used and developed on the sales floor have positively impacted who I am as a person. I'm more patient, knowledgeable, can strike up meaningful conversation with strangers - all things that can be very useful in life or for future jobs.
Cons: - For many employees, it's easy for the job to become your life. You work there 8 hours, slowly you realize all of your friends are your co-workers, you end up talking about work when you're not there, etc.
