Mac Genius
Pros: Apple only hires the best of the best. I felt like I was working on an amazing team with brilliant minds. The opportunity for advancement is there if you just push yourself. Discounts are amazing 500$ off a mac every few years on top of that an additional 25%. The company also stands by their customers and really do care. Becoming Genius also means a three week stay in Cupertino which is an amazing experience in itself.
Cons: Work politics can be a pain. There is always that one person that drank a little too much of the apple punch. After sometime it just seemed like management was very verbatim over everything as if it was straight from the apple guidelines. Also the pay was not worth all the work. Overbooked queues and understaffed. Meaning more work for the Family Room with no pay increase.
