Pros

Work from home supplies work materials (mac, headset, etc.) get SMALL discounts on Apple products If having to help 80+ angry people back to back have to fix the smallest to largest problems with their iPhone, IPad, Apple Watch, Apple accounts, Macs, and iPods all in one day for money that does not match the work then Apple is the place for you! Have fun! :)

Cons

Before I began working for Apple I actually liked people. Now I can not stand the thought of ever again putting myself through the depression and self-downgrade Apple forced me into. Apple Advisors are slaves to their customers and to the company. If someone ever told you at Apple that they love their job, they were lying or on a great anti-depressant. You would think working for a big company like Apple would be having the sky the limit as far as how far you can go and how much you can make. I have been working at Apple for 3 years, no pay increase, no promotion. Yet, have met every metric constantly that their is to meet week after week. Thank God I have found a better job and no longer have to live in Apple hell. Because of Apple, I will never do technical work again for any company.

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
