Pros

Apple is a fast paced environment. It does require long hours and dedication to work there. With a company as innovative and clandestine as Apple, trusting Senior Leadership is a must. I had no problems with this at all since I saw them on the upswing.

Cons

Long hours and some of the craziest, fast-paced environments in retail from October to January 1. You can say goodbye to work/life balance during this time of the year.

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
