"you should never meet your idols, when you do they always end up disappointing"
Pros: Apple is an amazing company to work for. The people are fantastic and you have a ton of room to grow. The best thing about working there is truly the people. You really do become like a family. I've never felt so close to co-workers in my life. You work really hard and it can get really really REALLY REALLY stressful, but at the end of the day the job itself is so enjoyable that it's worth the stress.
Cons: The management could really use some help. Most of the managers never really know what they're talking about and the rest are not willing to actually help you. There are the handful that are willing to help, and will do anything they can to help you learn. One manager in particular was a complete jerk all the time. I would avoid asking him for help because he would typically make the situation much worse. You are not compensated for your work in any way so the desire to sell is low but the need is high. Most of the time I felt like a worker bee, in a hive much bigger then I would ever realize. I was sometimes need to feel very small.
