Pros

Get to know the latest technology, and they teach you how to use it. You don't need to worry about commission sales, you just get out there and do your job. Some people would probably like to be on commission, but honestly, it creates a better working environment when you are not. It can be a lot of fun, the coworkers are always very colorful and fun to hang out with, and we always learn from each other. Not to mention, it isn't really difficult trying to sell things, people just buy them, all you have to do is ring them up.

Cons

Management can be a pain sometimes. Most of them don't even know about the products, I am amazed about that. The worst thing I can say about apple is about their unfair attendance. You can be fired just for showing up a little late. Sure they give you 3 days you can call out, but if there is an emergency, it doesn't matter. So many people have been fired from there, and most of it was from the attendance policy. If I am very sick, I have to suck it up and go to work with a fever. Other than that it would be great.

Pros

Great work life balance. Great work - serious innovation. One tends to learn a lot through their tenure. A gem of an addition to work experience esp for embedded systems

Cons

Kind of stagnant with respect to promotions

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
