x86rev Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Does anyone know what the pay/benefits is like at an Apple store for like their P/T Mac Genus or Creative positions. I realize that store location would be a determining factory. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahbau Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 It's been a while since I left Apple (3.5 yeas), but when I was a Mac Genius, they paid quite a bit more than a technician position at somewhere like CompUSA or BestBuy, but quite a bit less than someone with the knowledge and experience needed for a Mac Genius position could get elsewhere (private consulting, maintaining Macs for a school system, etc). I don't know if that's still the case or not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespottedelf Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 my friend started working at 11 and hour... full benefits, you get 10-25% off all purchases... and 20% off at&t cell phone plan.... he got iphone 8 gig for 300 and now has 20% off his plan o.O i'm so jealous... Of course they have the normal health, and yada yada... but the tech discounts are the best....

skyhighmac Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 One thing I hate: You have to be 18 or older! I would love to work there... maybe even for just the discounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started 5 years ago in sales, close to that area (Long Island), I got $11 an hour. I figured they'd increase their pay rate at least a little bit in the last 5 years. I went up to $17 an hour as a Genius, also in 2003, which is the same amount they offered as a Genius in North Carolina in 2002! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
