Not all its cracked up to be...
Pros: I learned how to set up iPads, iPhones, iMacs and I became pretty savvy with the products.
Cons: Good old boy network, slave drivers, racist management.  If you work the closing crew you become the cleaning crew as well, dusting, cleaning the bathroom (except the toilet/floor), cleaning the microwave. Some of the managers speak down to the employees in a demeaning way like kindergarteners. Also extremely low morale amongst staff unless you're one of the "favorites". Sexist bosses with young naive pretty girls. Many guys would have nothing to do with customers who were looking for "just" an iPhone or iPod; so Management would allow the boys to chat until a computer sale came up (supposedly there's no commission) and make the women hustle for those small sales ALL DAY long. Corte Madera store, for 1/2 hr. lunch once you clock out, it takes 3-4 minutes just to get to the break room to get your lunch. Basically,  we'd have 20 minutes to hurry, gobble down food, pee, wash hands, check phone, then go around and through the store to clock back in...all within 1/2 hour. All in all, the schedule was never the same week to week so it was impossible to plan a life. Boy when they needed you you were theirs. If things were slow, maybe you'd get 20 hours. I couldn't live like that, let alone survive on such little money!
