You have to be good at sales to get full benefits. If you keep a good personality and know your plans well enough to make an impression on the customer, you will most likely make a sale, which means more cash in terms of a bonus! π€©
July 17, 2023
All employees earn 1% of what they sell, and management earns 1% of store sales. This is based on a formula set by corporate, and I guess this is pretty fair.
July 17, 2023
If you can figure it out and find a way to keep middle management away, you can make a lot!!! I did very well during my 18 years at Radio Shack. π
