Their Soul is Their People
Pros: Genuinely amazing teams at those stores. Apple focuses diligently on bringing in the best of the best when they can.
Stock rewards that vest over time when performance is exceptional or above the average. 
AMAZING HEALTH BENEFITS. Maternity leave was stellar. 
Opportunities to advance when the current roles are met appropriately.
Cons: Retail leadership can treat their roles as if they're literally curing cancer, making them seem hard to relate to and holier than thou.
Difficulty in communication transparency for the team members that aren't the ideal "perfect employee". Lack of confrontation skills keep leaders really vague on true opportunities that individuals needs to correct in order to advance.
No true time and attendance policy - holding those accountable for terrible attendance to work is not consistent from store to store because certain stores can have managers who stick to a guide, while other stores can have leadership teams with no backbones and are too wrapped up in their own agendas to really care about the stores.
Leaders can know WHO the problematic contributors are, but have minimal resources to truly performance manage those people out. That creates a toxic culture of those problematic ones campaigning to bring other passive mindsets to the detractor ways.
