  • 'Overworked and unhappy' Apple Southampton store staff want to unionize

    formergeniusappformergeniusapp
    As a former Genius at a UK Apple Store and one who worked at this store, I can tell you that life is fine.

    They are the highest paid retail employees on the high street, have great benefits package including free private health care. Great pension and stock options.

    What I found is that the tenure of Genius’ was crazy high. They get super comfortable in the job, love the pay rises and can’t find work elsewhere which matches the salary. So they stay for 10’s of years.

    Retail = it’s busy on weekends and you have to stay around a little bit longer to help your customer. Launch days are long, but you are well fed and that’s it!! Tough life aye!

    I think Apple employees forget it is retail… 

    The Genius team were asked to help out more out front and put through referrals to the sales team or business team. It put people’s backs up and that’s where it all stemmed from in the UK.

    Again, tough life.

    It’s a great topic, so I’m more than happy to have a discussion about it
