Pros

Passionate, intelligent, interesting people from all walks of life work for Apple - you learn a ton of new information every day from the customers and employees you work with. You get to sell the absolute best products, hands down.

Cons

Middle management is extremely frustrating to work with, and in general those of us in the stores are treated like children. Back-end systems (ordering, communication, etc) are incredibly frustrating to use and detract a lot from the enjoyability of the job. There's a tremendous degree of burn-out due to the way employees are treated and the frustrating relationship with middle management.

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
