Pros

Good health/dental benefits, easy to transfer. Benefits are not anything special until you've been an employee for 5 years and then you get a good 401k match and PTO. Starting pay is competitive, but even with great performance review, raises are very small.

Cons

The things customers say when they don't get their way and then how frequently management caves and gives into their ridiculous requests, managers are often inexperienced, workload is ever increasing yet the pay does not match responsibilities or even compete with other companies that generate this level of revenue. Often do not have enough work supplies because "they're expensive" and offsite Genius training was canceled (is Apple going broke??) and so you're forced to learn from the very limited stock of Geniuses at your store who are often mistaken and undertrained. The break rooms in every store I've ever been into are basic and often too small for the number of employees. Too many part time employees. Tons of people call out because they're hungover or just don't feel like coming in and the penalties are minimal, if any. Speaking of, that is another con- most employees are almost constantly micromanaged and undervalued.

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
