      Great place, great people, but it's retail. Customers are customers.

      Pros

      Great people, great products. The managers are extremely protective of employee's break times, and they treat employees with respect. There is a great sense to teamwork and camaraderie amongst the teams, and a lot of people hang out together outside of work. The training is thorough and there is always mentoring going on. They do their absolute best to make for a positive customer experience, and it's unlike any other retail anywhere, period.

      Cons

      Like any retail experience, the customers can range from great to horrific. I thank my lucky stars I wasn't a technician, where everyone who comes to you has a problem of some sort. I've been yelled at and insulted by customers.

      Pros

      Working for Apple can be something you take pride in - I write software that my whole family (and millions of other people) get to see and use every day. My work is usually interesting, and I'm mostly surrounded by very smart people. My manager is not typical - he is respectful of my life outside of work. My work schedule is very flexible thanks to that. I'm always able to take vacations, and I'm able to telecommute once a week, sometimes twice if I need to. I haven't come into the office on the weekend at all during the last 4-5 years. Since 2007-2008, our cafeteria is awesome. It really sucked before that. The burrito bar kicks ass now. Cafeteria food costs $$$ - it's not free.

      Cons

      Many departments, and their VP's, directors, and managers have unrealistic expectations of their employees. Particularly on the hardware engineering side of Infinite Loop (buildings 5 and 6), people get driven very hard and are regularly expected to work weekends. I've witnessed age discrimination. On multiple occasions, co-workers over 50 were laid off without warning. I assume this is a routine pruning to let go the people with the highest salaries, but it always feels kinda wrong to me. My department does regular layoffs, maybe 8-10 people get dropped every 2 years. At the same time, we're always hiring. Our use of layoffs seems like a disingenuous (disingenuous since we're hiring simultaneously) way to drop poor performers.

      Pros

      The atmosphere is simply amazing. Everyone is a "pretty person" and they're all very smart and fun to talk to. You also get the added benefit of knowing you work for an amazing brand.

      Cons

      Low pay and relatively slow promotion.
