Pros

You get to help people change how they think about computers and be able to do what they never thought of doing with a computer. The best feeling is them walking out the door so grateful to Apple and you for helping make their lives better. Staff was great to work with, very helpful and always encouraging. Also, almost all the customers who come in are very humble and are great to work with. Overall, working at Apple gives me a sense of self-fulfillment in the way that I know I'm helping people enrich their lives by making the most of at least one aspect of their lives.

Cons

While there really aren't many, I think Apple needs to do a little better of a job distributing work hours among its employees and be a little more lenient when it comes to college students because unexpected events always come up. It was always tough to get hours and they kept hiring people so it felt like they were just giving hours away to new people. Also, scheduling was a bit off in the way that they usually always schedule to you have the least amount for lunch and break as possible. For instance, at 6 hours you have to take a 30 minute lunch break, so they will schedule (managers, not Apple itself) most people to work 5 hours and a half or 5 hours and forty-five minutes to avoid that.

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
