Wonderful company, beware of different locations and old boys clubs
Pros: Incredible benefits, even for part time workers. You can really max out your income by contributing up to 10% of your paycheck for discounted company stock. Overall, health insurance is above average for a large company. 

You get to work for the most recognized and respected corporation in the world and some incredibly gifted individuals are your peers. 

Decent compensation and a very generous discount package. 

Great CEO and company values overall.
Cons: Location, location, location. If you work at corporate or an ovation store (a top performing retail store) you are in for a real treat. Do your research and check out reviews on Google/Yelp/Facebook before accepting a position at just any Apple Store. Some stores aren't so great. Although the corporate mold is pushed to each location, some middle and regional managers are of surprisingly low caliber and self promote themselves above all. 

Morale can be low at times due to hardly any work life balance. Again, this all goes back to which store you are at. One store gave every other weekend off, another made you work every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with very inconsistent hours or stability.
