Anyone ever worked at an Apple Retail Store?

Hi guys, just been into the highcross today and went into the apple store and I thought - ooooooooooo, wouldnt mind a job here!

Just wondered what the basic salary is, and what it is like working for a company like apple. I know a friend who is sort of a rep who works at my store selling macs, and he loves it!

Suppose you'd need to be a proper people person, whenever I've been in, they're constantly being pestered about broken ipods etc. You'd need to have patience.

I work at purple shirt land and if I can hack that - I can hack broken ipods

I do I work in the back area it's actually a reasonably good job for retail. Usually a lot of fun surprisingly. Some good guys I've met there, and usually they're not all Mac afficionados, last friends I've made use PC's play FPS', they play football, snooker etc

Ahhh right nice

Do you know what the salary is mate? Also do they get commission or anything like that? Looking at being a Specialist if that helps

Fair enough. I work in clothing, it's a little less "sell sell sell".

Please wear deodorant though, don't think the guys in Glasgow have heard of it.

edit; that's if you got a job, of course!

To be quite fair in clothing its more tills, changing rooms or putting out stock isnt it?

Would love a job at the apple store

Best place to do a bit of research before applying ... there forums have a few ex employees.

Rumour is they are going to kill part timer hours with the credit crunch.

Cheers mate - would be looking at full time anyways

lol, a bit of apple secrecy!

Can you put me in the right direction of what roughly the annual salary is? Ya know, in a theoretical sense of mystery...............

Just a hint will do
