Do you get any discount on the iPhone as an apple employee? Or any discount at all for that matter?

an on-going 10% discount on anything in the store
a once-per-year 25% discount on a complete system
three discounts for friends and family per year of 15% off a complete system
deals on product models Apple is discontinuing prior to new product introductions, and overstocked items before the end of each quarter
occasional employee discounts or rebates on third-part products
a quarterly bonus if the store achieves its sales quota, $500 for part-time and $1,000 for full-time employees


10%. pretty sh**y deal

Switch to microsoft!

My dad had a buddy who worked for microsoft up in washington. He took us to the microsoft store and everything there was rediculously cheap. Brand new xbox360 games (when 360 JUST came out) for $20 (granted they were made by microsoft). That's a pretty good deal I'd say since new games are $60. Not sure the exact discount on everything but most of the stuff there was very very cheap

ummm I'm guessing thats the retail store's discounts and incentives.. I'm an ASC (Apple Solutions Consultant) which is considered corporate and our discount is basically the same...

except that the 1x 25% and 3x 15% discount applies to a complete system as well as iphones, ipods, time capsules, Apple TVs, etc... and occasional free software... and 50% off the 3rd party stuff...

oh and we are hourly/commissioned based so we get paid around the same as the lowest paid Genius Bar employee plus a pretty nice commission check every month (granted we hit our goals)
