Pros

In the apple store your fellow employee are the best reason to go to work. The in store employees are great people. The healthcare, stock options and employee discounts are great. You get to learn about the newest apple products. Depending on your position you may be able to learn new skills or practice your passions while at work. For every 1 bad customer there are 100's that make going to work fun.

Cons

Management cannot/does not make consistent decisions. Working a constant shift is impossible. Standards for mac genius got lower and lower as the time passed. Employee suggestions were never taken into consideration. Management has little to no working knowledge about technology. The one bad customer can make the 100's of good ones disappear.

Pros

Good place to learn and grow. You get to work on interesting verification problems with smart people, and it feels nice knowing your work contributes to products used by so many people.

Cons

The work can get pretty busy, especially close to deadlines. Sometimes the expectations are high, so work-life balance can be a bit hard during peak times.

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
