      Pros

      The quality of life factor. Yes they don't pay as much as they should but man is it a blast to see a persons face when you show them dashboard to iPhoto and they light up like a candle.

      Cons

      Promotions are almost non-existent and even when they do come you have to fight tooth and nail for it. I've heard horror stories of my friends who trained a new comer and then that new comer took the full time job he was inline for! Promotions from inside the company are almost a joke.

      Pros

      My current position permits me to have a very flexible schedule, I basically set my own work schedule. It's nice having access to the latest gear from Apple as well as the myriad of software. My immediate management is excellent. Benefits and salary are good.

      Cons

      Working out of a home office can make you feel isolated. I also don't have a lot of opportunities to expand my professional network within the company, making professional advancement outside of my division next to impossible. To move up in my career path would require far more travel, which seems absolutely backwards. Our Marketing department is absurdly oppressive, I often feel that creativity is sought only from Engineering and Product Marketing while conformity is dictatorially and unkindly mandated elsewhere.
