An excellent retail job... but unfortunately still a retail job
Pros: Excellent benefits, you can definitely make a career of working at Apple Retail if that's something that works for you. I recommend figuring that out sooner rather than later.
Cons: Terrible work/life balance, like any retail/food service/hospitality job. A lot of the downsides of working in Retail with the added pressure of needing to keep up on a huge amount of product/technical knowledge with little to no time allocated to do so. Crazy schedules, can't have a social life really, frequently work and personal life becomes very blurry because it is difficult to spend time with people who have "normal" jobs. As you might expect, customers are rude, stupid, cruel, or all three, all the time.
