Pros

Company embraces diverse life styles with a passion. The company's design excellence make it a national treasure. In this regard there is no American company that comes close. They recognize excellence and pursue it with passion. Superb products and very devoted customer support.

Cons

Limited career advancement possibilities for a Mac Genius. Advancement path is to Lead Genius. Beyond that management is the only opening which is not a logical direction to pursue. Crossover from Retail to Corporate is notoriously difficult and likely requires re-locating. Low salaries compared to the rest of the industry.

Pros

Definitely the discount, and the first hand experience in a one of a kind retail environment. You get to use and become familiar with the products before anyone else is. They also give you very good training, and you dont ever really feel forced to sell. It is your job to sell but the way they go about doing so makes it feel as though you are somewhat of a consultant, where the customer does not have to purchase it immediately. This is one reason that working for Apple is a great lesson. You learn great sales skills, and you learn how to not upsell.

Cons

Limited growth, and again you begin to feel like just another number in the system.

Pros

Very good benefits package. You get to work for a company that makes products you are proud to be associated with and use yourself. Lots of room for personal development and enrichment.

Cons

Lack of good advancement paths from the retail store to higher opportunities in the company. Lots and lots of talented individuals already work for the company, but getting to a better job is not an option for most. Pay is lower than comparable jobs outside the company.
