Health insurance
Pros: The pros are you get to work amongst some of the best and brightest and watch them suffer to take on the role of 4 people.  Then you have people to relate to when you start to be unable to keep up at this insane pace, especially while you realize how it's affecting your health, and reach out to EaP and united health care for help.  Because then your going to be in for a sad sad story
Cons: Wow.  Maybe for a cold, or the flu. But try Apple's healthcare when you need behavior health or even just a physical, and you don't work on a campus where it is readily available.  It ends up to be the worst insurance ever that only pays 17 percent less than the second worst insurance company and that equals waiting 8 weeks to get help, seeing the same terrible doctor for over four years, because he is literally the only practice wishing 50 miles of me that will accept UHC's unfair payout.  And even then I swear I'm only seen out of empathy.  Why can't the best company in the world choose the best insurance provider in the world, instead of the one who makes the most money? Because even living with 45 minutes of NYC, I have 1 option for a psychiatrist that is in network.  One option.  Healthcare providers are dropping UHC like it's worse than Medicaid/Medicare and I wish Apple's credo was accurately reflected in how they choose to help us.  But right now it couldn't be any worse.
