Good, but not great...
Pros: Benefits are good for both full-time and part-time employees. Apple covers same-sex couples on health insurance and includes the difference one has to pay for imputed income. Stock purchase plan is good, and so is the 401(k).
Cons: Management isn't the most competent, and retail stores are very politically driven. Promotions are sometimes rewarded by effort and ability, but most of the time it is the favorite. Thus, moving up and career advancement are difficult in this company because the decisions are made arbitrarily. Most information passed down to employees is subjective.
