Pros

Fun, easy-going place to work. Good pay, allows computer nerds to get payed by talking about computers. Lots of attractive girls that work at the store, fun place to meet up with friends who enjoy seeing me work, lots of shiny products to have hands-on time with.

Cons

The fact that there is no over time, and that there are obvious favorites chosen by the management team. Inadequate training opportunities, sometimes a little too laid back, elder employees are allowed to slack off more than new employees which have higher expectations.

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
