Pros

My fellow coworkers are great and supportive, that's honestly all I've got. Not much else is that good. The benefits are awesome.

Cons

TERRIBLE work life balance. Constantly understaffed and severely strapped for resources. People are constantly quitting and no one is being hired to supplement the amount of support we need. Our customer traffic is rapidly increasing, and we're expected to do WAY more with WAY less. The Higher ups in the company are constantly talking about "retail evolution", when the fact is the company is losing people faster than ever. As a result, morale is EXTREMELY low and just about everyone there only works for a paycheck. People are overworked and call out just to get some peace of mind. No one is passionate about their work anymore, and Apple is now just like every other retailer.

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
