Pros

Apple Retail has some really great people, good benefits and for the most part, a fun environment.

Cons

It's retail, awful hours, some awful customers and while they talk "work life balance" you are expected to work often with little notice and EVERY weekend. In the early 2000's it was all about the customer experience, now it's all about selling and how much can we make off of a customer. I had a manager actually tell me "I expect $5,000 an hour out of transactions like that". After giving Apple 11 years of my life, that was the last straw....

Pros

The pay, benefits and discounts were great. I got to work with some smart and amazing people.

Cons

No work life balance. Favoritism was an issue that was never addressed. People not being accountable for their actions and performance made it frustrating. Although there are several talented and intelligent ppl, there was equally lazy idiots that should have never been hired and deserve to be fired that still work there. I would never wish bad on anyone, so I will say I hope the culture changes for the better.

Pros

- The cafe is amazing, even if it's not free. - Great equipment - standup/sit-down desk, machines for testing. - Smart co-workers who care about their job. No slackers. - Shuttle buses for transportation. - Bonuses for job well done.

Cons

- Meetings where you could cut the tension with a knife. - Profanity is okay at any time. - More work than can be done in a 40 hour work week. - If you're a woman and work in engineering, but you're not a programmer, be prepared to be lonely. - If you don't respond to emails received on nights and weekends, you're left behind. - Arrogant company culture. They expect you to treat your job like you're employee #10 in a start-up. - No work/life balance. - Dysfunctionally secretive. Little to no guidance to new employees. - Co-workers pass you in the hallway and don't acknowledge your existence. If you enjoy a competitive work environment where meetings get tense, and the company takes itself very seriously, with long hours, then you'll be okay.
