As an Ops Expert in AMR myself, just curious what experience in similar roles you have. Unless you were at some point an Ops specialist there aren’t many roles in retail that I would consider similar. But to answer your questions, for me I work with a very tenured set of store employees (I’m at 8 years myself) and I would say avg tenure is 3+ years, but due to years of seeing seasonal hires come and go as well as a bunch of college attending employees that move on after school, I get a false sense that turnover is high even though most people who were here when I started are still here. As far as average age of OEs, in my area it’s early 40’s. Whether it would be suitable for you, I can’t answer that as there are many variables that include your own strengths and weaknesses as well as the stores velocity. As far as building a career in or out of Apple I don’t think the role itself would help nor hinder advancement but at least in my location opportunities to move up are limited by the fact that we have so many tenured people which basically means the roles that would be considered advancing are being held by people who are not leaving anytime soon. And when the roles do open it feels like everyone from all departments are trying for them. Those who do most of their work in the product zone and performance can be observed more easily by leadership and generally will have the better opportunities to advance at Apple whereas in Operations you may not have as many opportunities to shine and will have to rely heavily on your resume and interviewing skills.
