Apple retail was wonderful in the early years, changed a lot after Steve died and Ron Johnson left.
Pros: Apple Retail has some really great people, good benefits and for the most part, a fun environment.
Cons: It's retail, awful hours, some awful customers and while they talk "work life balance" you are expected to work often with little notice and EVERY weekend.  In the early 2000's it was all about the customer experience, now it's all about selling and how much can we make off of a customer.  I had a manager actually tell me "I expect $5,000 an hour out of transactions like that".  After giving Apple 11 years of my life, that was the last straw....
