Pros

Great products, great benefits. Really great vision and mission statements. Very innovative company.

Cons

Turning into a big box retail. Bad pay. Payroll hours are limited during slower times of year but company continues to increase staff which causes hours per employee to average around 10 per week during slower time periods, about half the year. This decreases morale considerably. Management is overall very positive but can tend to value going outside the company for positions rather than promoting from within. This leads to a lot of senior and regional managers who don't share the culture of the company and who have a large learning curve to get up to speed.

Pros

Apple is a fast paced environment. It does require long hours and dedication to work there. With a company as innovative and clandestine as Apple, trusting Senior Leadership is a must. I had no problems with this at all since I saw them on the upswing.

Cons

Long hours and some of the craziest, fast-paced environments in retail from October to January 1. You can say goodbye to work/life balance during this time of the year.

Pros

Great place to work if your an Apple "fan Boy" and think the company can do no wrong. The benefits are good and you can purchase Apple stock at a discount. This may be the best reason to work for Apple. Discounts on hardware is OK, but products must ship from CA, can't be purchased from retail stock. Retail stock discount is only 10% and excludes some products such as Bose.

Cons

Most store managers or general managers are incompetent. They lack respect for the employees and treat the majority of the customers with little or no respect.
