Pros

Smart people to work with, great pay and benefits--you can essentially carve your own niche if you have enough ambition and can work with the right people to get where you want to go. You will have to put in LOTS of extra hours, but travel opportunities abound and if you are not limited by family obligations and have extraordinary drive, you can go as far as you want to go. I met a number of extraordinary people there, some who will be friends for life. The informal Apple alumni network has also been extremely valuable in my post-Apple life.

Cons

Long hours, poor work/life balance. If you have small children or other family obligations that limit your hours to the typical 9 to 5, this is not the company for you. That mindset is typical for Silicon Valley, however.

Pros

The opportunity to work with an amazing and varied cadre of individuals. It IS retail with all that entails, but the quality of customers in general is better than General retail, if that makes sense. Consistency is definitely the goal, a consistently high quality level of service, and Apple is one of the most responsive companies I've worked for when comes to addressing issues with it be regarding employees or customer's gripes. That's not to say it's perfect, far from it, there's definitely a lot of room for improvement and transparency. Also better communication amongst the various groups, teams and departments within Apple would go a long way towards resolving any misunderstandings, something which is sorely lacking right now.

Cons

No growth oppurtunities for retail employees, aka "the redheaded stepchild"
