Clean up in aisle 5?

JD sounds more like a regional store manager. If that’s the case, probably a no. If it turns out to be more of an SM in Store Operations (more like centralized strategy/management function), this position could have an impact (allocating/monitoring budget to each store, developing guideline in staffing model, negotiating with and managing facilities operations related suppliers, executing new product launch/pranogram change at all stores, etc).

Not in the actual store I hope.. lol

No definitely

Stock shelves?

Not sure what you’re asking..?

If someone has experience working with Apple, especially SM in Retail

Still not getting it. You’re leaving consulting to take a job managing an apple store? And your wondering what they do? And if there’s anyone on here that is doing that job? Am I close

It’ll pay like 100k lol.. if that

This is nothing but a glorified store manager, and do not let the posh JD fool you.
