Pros

Apple is very serious about promoting from within when able and about helping people grow in to the position they want to have in the company. They really do care about both the employee and the customer. Most other retail companies treat their employees like disposable items. When you reach a full time position the benefits are very good - they compete with other non-retail companies I've worked for and hands-down beat all other retail companies I've worked for.

Cons

In the end it is still retail. So, there are odd hours, working nights, weekends and holidays. A little bit of the retail "numbers" game creeps in as well, but not anything like the rest of the retail world.

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
