Pros

cool technology High profile company Apple is liked by consumers cool discounts. Being close to the leading edge of popular technology Stores are centrally located Decent healthcare benefits and discounted stock options Chance to help people be creative by providing them with tools to enhance their creativity.

Cons

terrible schedule Managers overpaid, underperform Very busy stores, overwhelming Recognition hard to get. challenging work is not compensated fairly from employee to employee. Large disparities evolve in pay between members of the same team. Lots of corporate rules and metrics you are expected to meet. Security cameras keep close watch on staff, not customers.

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
