Pros
The culture of the Apple Store is what made it so great to work there. Everyone was friendly and become friends and would share stories and go out together after work. If you really love the Apple products like I do then the job is a pleasure. You get a lot of satisfaction from helping others learn how to use a computer and seeing the smile on their face when they realize how simple and easy the interface is to use. A lot of customers are repeats and will ask for you by name and you start to build solid relationships with customers.
Cons
The pay isn't that great. I haven't worked their for a year now, but I was only getting 11 dollars an hour. I guess that isn't so bad considering i was 18 and 19 years old when I worked there. Sometimes you feel that you don't get compensated justly because your on an hourly wage. I would routinely outperform other mac specialist in terms of sales volume each day, but still would get the same hourly rate. There should be some kind of commission reimbursement to compensate those that sell more. Also the managers could sometimes over look your individual performance and only concentrate on sore performance.
