Pros

Good brand recognition among peers, generous move assistance, no vesting schedule for 401k contributions

Cons

Senior leaders frequently throw tantrums, and this behavior trickles down Secrecy gets in the way of getting things done Inconsistent messaging about promotions from HR No community - no holiday party and Cupertino is simply depressing No perks

Pros

The pay is great, but there's a reason for that...

Cons

Honestly, it's become the worst place to work for. I had 5 years invested with them. Things were great in the beginning and then they started merging all the Lines of Business. Not all of the lines are that similar. An iPhone trouble shoots vastly different than an iMac, but little training and no pay increase makes for a pretty crummy experience. Then, add in the atrocious Two-Factor and locking people out of their accounts, leaving us with no ability to assist. It's a pretty poor time on both sides. Plus, having to eat a bad survey that is explicitly left for another advisor...what's bad about that? Oh. It directly relates to your schedule on two important fronts. I won't say it was better when Steve was still around, but it wasn't as bad as it is now.

Pros

life skills on how to deal with people and how to develop yourself. the people and tema you work with, you will never find another team like it. lots of interesting talents and skills that you can utilize outside of work. i.e.. most are creative people photographers, DJs, musicians, so you definitely get the benefits of working with and also having help from them. there are so many pros, that is until you learn nd develop and realize that once you've learned everything you can. The cons list outweighs the reason to stay.

Cons

NO SUCH THING AS WORK LIFE BALANCE. You will work 12pm-9pm, then the next day 8am-5pm. then the following 11am-8pm. You will dedicate your life 45hours a week (each day you have 9 hour shifts but an unpaid lunch for 1 hour)to this job but will never fulfill your outside life. they harp on it and try to convince you that it work life balance are taken into consideration, but its not. You must request off 4-5 weeks in advance and hope no one else that has the same position you do did because then it will be denied. IF you do get your request by luck, then you will absolutely work an opening shift the following day. thats that 8am shift the day after you want to have off. Expect to work every weekend unless you consistently kiss the toes of management. they outsource positions with titles and don't often promote within. if they do promote you from within you will not see any kind of increase in pay, just enough to say hey you get a dollar more. However, the people they outsource who have no understanding of the culture, products, or people they work with but had a "manager" title at another company will get paid 1.5 times more than you to do less work because they don't get most of the processes.
