Pros

Apples compensation plan is by far one of the highest in retail.After working retail for over 3 years, and finding apple, I am already extremely satisfied. The add-ons as a specialist are part of job and its the same as all retail, push the product to the customers. Apple puts its people right after its customers, which is very rare. They ask you how you think the company is doing once a quarter with a survey. They also provide a great discount plan!

Cons

Apple is very demanding and the customers are very needy. You need to be extremely patient and be able to deal with difficult people on a daily basis.

Pros

Recognition of the company name by general public. Employee discounts/benefits. Free meals at times. Company hierarchy is pretty flat, easy access to upper management. Developers, QAs, marketing, documentation, managers, ...etc. all work together as a team, in constant communication. Most of the first line manager are very technical, often required to code just like the other developers, so it's easier to communicate with the manager. Get to work on great products that have profound impact on people's daily life.

Cons

Telecommuting is not encouraged. Some pressure to keep "innovating" and coming up with new ideas. Hard to keep with the fast pace and long hours. Burn out work schedule is expected for at least 2-3 months before every major release. Even during non-deadline time, the younger, fresh out of college students would volunteer to work nights and weekends for no apparent reasons. The culture makes the work/life balance harder for those who have family.
