Great opportunities, terrible management
Pros: Pay, training. I got very good at sales very quickly.
Cons: Management. Half the management team were educated and came from strong sales backgrounds. These people were great, and really valued success on the floor. The other half were career retail, and didn't have the same standard. I felt discriminated against by these managers because of my education and background. Regardless of my success, I knew that I was experiencing prejudice based off my long-term opportunities outside of the retail floor. It doesn't matter how many higher-ups tell you you are being groomed for corporate, the second the retail floor finds out, you're screwed. 

Apple is also stagnating as a company. They're innovation is slowing down, and I always felt like I was lying to customers about the products.
