      Pros

      Discounts and health insurance, along with working along side some very smart people.

      Cons

      People are quite annoying at times, after all it is still retail. Often times managers will promote friends or friends of friends over more competent individuals. The hip no nothing about computer, but Apple is cool crowd is annoying...

      A great place to make a difference

      Pros

      You get to make a difference on products that people love to use. You might have more influence on the overall product at a smaller company, but you can have a significant impact on products that millions of people use and which set the direction for entire industries. Nothing compares to the thrill of having a product you've worked hard on being announced at Macworld or WWDC to glowing reviews, and then seeing people all over the place using it. Also, unlike some other large companies, Apple's teams run small. This means that nearly everyone's working on something really important to their product, and that at least within your own area of influence it's pretty easy to get things done.

      Cons

      The company's expectations are very high. Product schedules are aggressive and the quality bar is high, so pushes to get releases out can be tough. Management is often willing to let you work as hard as you're willing to, which in retrospect can be more than you really wished you'd worked. Apple doesn't offer quite as much vacation time as some other companies (though Christmas through New Year's is a free vacation every year), and a bit more time off would help. Also, the company is very fast-paced, so things can change quickly. Get used to decisions being made one day and changing the next, but on the plus side the final decision is nearly always the right one.

      Great place to work. Not so great management.

      Pros

      If you love Apple and it's products, it's a great place to work. Of course with any job there are bad times, but honestly I can't remember a day when I didn't have fun at work. The customers might not have always been the greatest, but working with the great people at Apple always seemed to reverse anything a customer could do.

      Cons

      Management definitely likes to micro-manage. If your a Genius be prepared to give up your pride whenever a customer isn't happy, your given policies and procedures on everything but if that doesn't work for a customer, your manager will make it work for them. It's fun being a Genius, but being in a retail environment will knock the wind right out of that sail.
