Pros

Apple has many great benefits such as insurance, 401k, stock options, tuition reimbursement, EAP, free flu shots and much more. Managers are awesome if you aren't stuck with a micromanager. Free Apple branded gifts are sent quarterly and the discounts are awesome

Cons

Having a bad work/life balance can be taxing, especially when you work from home. You will always work on the weekends and there isn't much room for advancement. Burnout is inevitable and it is a high stress environment, paired with strict metrics. Tools are breaking all the time and surveys that aren't about your service still count against you. If you are not in the college program, you have to do shift bids to pick your shifts and it will be even harder to have a work/life balance. Time off is EARNED (not a bucket) and you are penalized for being sick, scheduling time off in advance can be a pain since the allowances suck.

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
