Hmm. The "Genius" jobs pay pretty well for a retail store.



I bet you don't walk in off the street and get that job.





I dunno.



I get the feeling you have to work your way up to that job and I also

notice it is "exempt" so you can kiss that 40 hour week goodbye.







Dunno that, either. The former store manager who wanted to hire me as

the weekend "geezer" genius talked about working Friday-Saturday or

Saturday-Sunday, half the time behind the "genius" service counter, and

half the time teaching fellow geezers how to use their desktop and

laptop Apple gear.



I actually met a guy about a year ago who took the geezer job. Nice fellow.



In retrospect, I'm not sure I could tolerate working in an Apple store

on the weekends. The mall stores around here are not large and usually

they are so crowded on the weekends, you can't move. That's not an

environment I like.



The Glass Door site lists this as a salaried position vs hourly and

that generally translates to long hours because they do not pay

overtime. That is a common dodge in the tech business.

I am guessing the job you were teased with was not the same thing.





Didn't pursue it, but all I was being recruited for was a part-time

weekend sort of job...my guess is that the "genius" salary could have

been divided into an hourly rate. It's another "I dunno."



That might have been a perfect job for our resident internet service provider and troubleshooter. It would give him a taste of real work in small doses until he got up to speed.
