It's great... if you're a robot.
Pros: Good pay, great team, good holiday/availability.
Cons: Discount and benefits are awful for what you have to deal with from the entitled and rude customers on a daily basis, but of course they make it out like they give you an arm or a leg. 

If you are creative in anyway e.g. musician, apple own 50% of your creativity as "they have supplied the tools to assist you". It's written in your contract. Same if you own a businesses too. 

We are followed around the shop floor by management and leads (which is a less useful manager with no real power) holding iPads with the shop schedule on it. You have to request permission to use the bathroom or even to go for a glass of water. You will be scheduled to a table/bay and if you move an inch they will passive aggressively ask you if you are where you are suppose to be. It's like a nursery with paycheques.

If you are late more than 2 times in 3 months they will discipline you.

If you are an Apple fanboy and you're willing to be their loyal subject then you will do well there. If you're a normal human and have other life ambitions e.g. working in the creative industry I'd avoid it!  They make it obvious to you that you are in a desirable retail position and if you can't abide by their strict rules then you aren't worthy of being an apple employee.
