Experience level: Junior

Don't join the wrong team.
Pros: Some store leaders and managers will coach you for great success. Exceptional health and education benefits. Strong product training for team members who choose to avail themselves of it.
Cons: Wild variations between stores. If you're seen as part of a "bad store" or a "bad team," it's almost impossible to gain forward momentum in your career. Stacked rankings mean that you can exceed your goals and still fail to gain sponsorship for career advancement. You won't get fired, but you will get managed out with bad schedules and reduced hours.  Leaders are more excited to recruit a senior leader from another company for a junior role at Apple instead of building a bench of talent.
