Pros

Salary was really good, but it took me some time to see that money won't buy happiness and contentment.

Cons

Management is horrific and utterly unprofessional Employees are not being taken care of (I worked every(!!!) single weekend for over one year, plus late shifts for 4 months consecutively) Employees are treated as cash cows (see above) No loyalty whatsoever Two of my managers threatened me with termination for no decent reason and told me my leisure time would get hold off my job which needed to be talked about (WTF) Area managers somewhat unprofessional and narrow minded Career opportunities only given when crawling into other manager's backside. ... This list is actually barely exhaustive.

Pros

– Great salary – Good name for the resume – Semi-decent discounts on Apple products – Special concerts by great artists during summer Beer Bash

Cons

– Very poor leadership – Work w/ a wide range of people: from ex-agency folks who are sharp to 50 year old parents who want the salary and stock but not the hours – Work within creative and strategic constraints (thinking outside the box is discouraged) – No accountability from leadership down – Flat organization which prevents a lot of growth – Recruiting is sharp and well-trained in pitching the job, etc. – Easier to get into Apple then to leave (no exit interview, no benefit reviews, shuts off cell service, etc.) – Too much gray. – Operations (process and response time) is hit and miss from IS&T to HR – Very impersonal because it is so large. Each department has their own internal intranet site and emails and hotlines. The in-person HR lead knowledge is inconsistent to the hotline.

Pros

Great experience, accelerated learning. You will learn a ton in a short period of time. A lot of hands on experience on real products.

Cons

No time for family, intense continuous & unnecessary pressure, no career development. If you consider yourself a work alcoholic then you are going to really enjoy working in Operations.
