Pros

Excellent and friendly coworkers, and a good work environment. Apple is on the cutting edge of technology. Apple actually cares about customer service, and the store definitely leans toward making customers happy. We are allowed a lot of latitude in this regard as well. The benefits are excellent; we get medical, dental, vision, 401k. There is also an employee stock purchase program. Good career opportunities for the future.

Cons

Retail has no set work hours, they vary every week. Weekends off are a rare occurrence. Working with customers can be very stressful at times. Compensation is good but not great, it should be higher.

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
