Not the Apple they used to be
Pros: Excellent discounts offered to employees on Apple products, as well as rotating discounts on third party products.
Cons: Full time employees work five 9-hour shifts per week with a 1 hour break after 4-5 hours, schedules are generally not set, meaning your work schedule may change week to week. When I started working at Apple in 2008, my schedule was set every week, but in 2013 Apple decided to "get away from set schedules to meet the needs of the business". This makes having a personal life and a decent work-life balance nearly impossible.
