Apple Retail Stores
Pros: For a technology junkie it's a serious daily fix.
Given tremendous amounts of responsibility and anonymity,  far beyond any normal retail positions.
Typically, compensation can be extremely good, but make sure you negotiate very well.
For some reason people seem impressed when you say you work for Apple!
Cons: Serious Reality Deficit.
Disfunctional internal workings for just about everything everything. The company is so concerned about outward impressions that it's impact on internal function is detrimental.
No clear (or unclear) development paths within the company. 
A highly clique oriented / playing politics type company.
