		<description>Awesome info!!

I am actually interested in applying at my local store.  And I was just interested in the pay scale options.  I have my bachelors degree, and was a supervisor at Puma for 2 years in college ending in 2005.  But since then I&#039;ve been a Final Cut Pro editor, so I would of course be interested in being a Creative.

Would anyone know what a Creative, Specialist, and then this new Expert posistions per hour pay range would be?

Thanks and again great post!  :)</description>

		<description>Maybe they changed it to the more complicated structures because they knew Microsoft will copy that. Now Apple is probably saying, haha.</description>

		<description>So they are basically going back to the way it was when I worked there. The specialists did all the jobs. I thought he extra roles where always convoluted. Personal Shoppers did the same thing all the other specialists where doing but they where always the top sellers in the stores.</description>

		<description>It seems like every year there&#039;s a reorganization of the stores personnel, positions, and responsibilities.  Sure, you can argue this is necessary because of the highly volatile and ever changing environment within the stores, but still... really?</description>

		<description>I like the new changes. Concierge always felt limited and overworked. The need for &quot;experts&quot; who can sell will keep more knowledge on the floor instead of just in the genius room. Every store already had &quot;experts&quot; in their specialist and management ranks, now it is just official and compensated properly. 

I imagine that the theater positions, family specialists, Business Partner (and business Specialist) positions are staying as is?</description>
