Pros

Good place to work, great team, casual working environment, commitment to diversity. Interacting with the customer base can be rewarding. Good benefits of both traditional benefits and product discounts. Favorable brand recognition --everyone is excited to be involved with Apple. The job gives your exposure to a variety of both different coworkers and customers --all unique. It is a growing experience. Great working atmosphere.

Cons

Compensation is not directly related to quality of work. Company politics and favoritism seems to be a problem --management's favorable circle is promoted to the exclusion of other employees. The usual retail drag --weekends, difficult to obtain full time or ideal part time situation.

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
