Pros

Apple is an exciting place to work. The people who work at Apple Retail are intelligent (for the most part) and very excited to work there. In addition, it's a great place to network with the customers Apple attracts.

Cons

Apple doesn't seem to be very sincere in the professional development of the Creatives. It is very difficult to find the time and motivation at the job to study for certifications. Apple uses the certification card as bait to attract you to work there, then there isn't much follow up. Also, Apple Retail is...RETAIL. It's easy going in to ignore that.

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
