Pros

You will be in the midst of cutting edge, cool technology and will be seen as cool by your friends and customers. You'll only need to by pants, undies, socks, and shoes since you'll always have a new t-shirt. You get discounts on equipment. You may be able to see products that are never put on the sales floor.

Cons

You are there to be kicked by the customer, while management holds you down. They never stop thinking of news ways to work you, while your paycheck stagnates. Communications of company policies is sporadic. You are expected to keep up with the technology on person, unpaid time by customers and management, which is too much to ask for a job paying at this level. Management can be arrogant, oblivious, and mean-spirited all at once. You are not allowed to miss time for an ill relative - not even for a day. If you have a real, full-time job other than Apple, Apple will hire you and then assume it is first. There is absolutely no concern for employee safety. Music that is racist, sexist against some employees is allowed to play in BOH (Back of House) with no intervention from management. Management has been known to throw things at employees.

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
