Pros

Mac OS X, iPods, and all the other great products that have been developed at Apple. And doesn't the man who invented that thing called the "internet" sit on the board?

Cons

At times, it was challenging to be part of something so great, but with little opportunity for advancement beyond the world of retail. Seems like the iPod represented the second-coming of Apple, but it also brought in Windows-users, and a realization (from above) that Apple could sell more if it lowered it's standards across the board.

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
