Pros

Cool company, outstanding growth potential, and enough action in a day's work to keep you from getting bored. You'll meet all sorts of people. Especially if you get into the habbit of doing Personal Shopping appointments, or you are entered into a GYO program.

Cons

If you think having a college education will get you ahead while working at apple retail..... you're wrong. Which is good for the regular joe... but sucks for the degree holders. I love my job... but when it kind of burns to see the 18 year old fresh out of high school working right along side a 30 year old with a Bachelors degree.

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
