Resume builder, not a career builder.
Pros: If you pay attention to the culture talk and apply it carefully, you will get excellent training in how to succeed in finding future jobs. I gained some real business skills. Also, free trip to the Bay Area (depending on where your store is or your luck). Not being flippant; Genius training really is a fantastic experience, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Cons: The SV company culture talk is ALL talk at Apple, because the powers that be hire "old retail" managers, so you end up dealing with ridiculous red tape, micromanaging, when you just want to do your job. There's a lot of talk in the repair room that would give any HR person a heart attack. It led to a lot of sexual harassment. Management did not care, covered it up when I reported it--one of my primary reasons for leaving.
