Pros

Benefits are great, lots of mental health resources, dental, eye care, so on and so forth. Job itself is interesting and enjoyable

Cons

It is hard to enjoy your job when you work with incompetent management, and colleagues that do nothing but contribute to a toxic work environment. Drama is constantly being spread around the store. When employees have concerns they bring forth management does little to nothing about them. There are regular instances of racist and sexist remarks being made, harassment, and there have also been instances of colleagues making homophobic remarks as well. It's extremely sad given the values that Apple claims to uphold. As per my experience, these values are empty promises that sound great, but actions certainly do not match words In addition to this there is no work life balance, and opportunities within the company are few and far between. The internal interview process is incredibly bias, with managers from our own store conducting interviews, and there rarely being a neutral 3rd party. That being said, the opportunities you get will be completely reliant on how particular managers feel about you, and not necessarily dependant on other qualifications. **Note that while I have rated "Compensations and Benefits" as 5 stars, benefits are good, put compensations are poor

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
