Pros

Interesting job, where motivated people can take initiatives and be a part of the development of the Store. I worked with amazing people and made friends for life there. Products are awesome and working on it is a big pleasure, we know customers will be sastisfied. Pay was good when i enter there in 2009.

Cons

The company is changin in the bad way. Lower pays, reducing employees by stores, having less means to work everyday. Apple Retail is also the best to make employees expect promotion they never give to them. In fact the problem is many Store director and Managers are coming from other retail brands and they are working as they usually did, with fake promises, and creating clans in the Store. All of this can destroy the good vibes Apple succeed to create at the beginning.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
