Pros

Benefits (even for part-time employees), discounts, coworkers are always very interesting and fun.

Cons

Inconsistent hours, terrible work-life balance, management wants everyone to be a cookie cutter employee with not much room for individuality. Terrible growth opportunities. As an engineer by training, I was told that I "wasn't qualified" for a repair technician position and that I would need to stay in sales. The management team has no experience with technology and is not even required to have used our products in the past. They have no idea what's going on with the technology itself.

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
