Pros

Apple is a company that continuously pushes the envelope. It is a lot of fun to work for a company that produces such innovative products. I have worked on many development projects, and get to see my products used by many millions of people. It is really wonderful to be out walking around and see something that you've built in people's hands. The CEO is a very charismatic leader, and is able to whip crowds into a frenzy. Our product release have been compared to Hollywood premieres! I've been at events where I've been able to meet stars that I would never normally see. I get to work with some of the nicest, most creative people on earth.

Cons

Work-life balance is non-existent. You must give your all for the company. Many people end up divorced when working at Apple. Want a vacation? Sorry, not now. Not ever. Apple thinks of employees as "disposable". They burn people out, and discard their empty shells.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits

Cons

Compliance in any state mandated disability differs from manager to manager. One manager was able to meet my work restrictions, but my team was transferred without notice, and the new manager removed and refused to work with my restrictions. I was intimidated out of the company and reminded their company could afford better lawyers than me.

Pros

Good health/dental benefits, easy to transfer. Benefits are not anything special until you've been an employee for 5 years and then you get a good 401k match and PTO. Starting pay is competitive, but even with great performance review, raises are very small.

Cons

The things customers say when they don't get their way and then how frequently management caves and gives into their ridiculous requests, managers are often inexperienced, workload is ever increasing yet the pay does not match responsibilities or even compete with other companies that generate this level of revenue. Often do not have enough work supplies because "they're expensive" and offsite Genius training was canceled (is Apple going broke??) and so you're forced to learn from the very limited stock of Geniuses at your store who are often mistaken and undertrained. The break rooms in every store I've ever been into are basic and often too small for the number of employees. Too many part time employees. Tons of people call out because they're hungover or just don't feel like coming in and the penalties are minimal, if any. Speaking of, that is another con- most employees are almost constantly micromanaged and undervalued.
