i started in entertainment at 8 bux an hour.....i am now at 9.33.........commissioned people (product experts) make about 8 bux base+ commission...and sales associates that just sell random **** without commission on everything but warranty's make about 8.50 an hour....warehouse people make about 9-10 an hour for full time work.....hope that helps

holly crap that sucks

in most cases..i have worked there for 2 years and i am only up 1.33...that blows...but then again there are some people in home theater (guy named greg specifically) who has a base of 8 bux an hour....and he makes roughly 65-75,000 a year selling tv's.....they wanted him to get into management training but as a manager of the entire department he would still be taking a huge pay cut...so it can be pretty awesome if u know how to sell

What would be the avg. home theater pay level ? $30 - $40k ?

I used to work in FS, $8.5 a hour + commission on PSP

guys

future shop doesn't make base + commisssion

they make base OR commission

(unless things have changed alot since I worked there)

if you have a bad week you get your base pay which is your hourly pay

if you have a decent or good week, meaning your commission is higher then your base pay, you get your commission pay

well this is kinda off topic but if u really want a high paying job that pretty much has the same amount of work as a retail, try workin at a factory. i work at wrigley canada as a student and they give me 15.00 an hour (starting 13.50 then u get 15.00 after six months.)

work load is not hard at all its just the schedule like 12 hour shifts but u get two days on then two days off alternating. u can also try other manufacturing plants that really dont require heavy jobs.

i guess the only down side of it is that u might get injured if u dont work safely so thats y stay with company that makes small products like bubble gum, soap, toys etc.

ne ways hope this helps a bit

FutureShop has changed to what they call image 2, thats where they have a few selected Product Experts who make base plus commission. I worked there for 3.5 years so I know the system there really well, and no your dont need to be a good in sales to work there or make good money. Just know what your talking about and its just luck who you get. The most i've made at Futureshop in 1 day was 1035$ on a boxing day. But keep in mind they're trying hard to get away from commission sales, it won't be long until its all hourly wage there.

its a garbage place to work, good discounts but i mean cmon 9 bucks wtf... you can get so many jobs over 12+

employee dicount is really good though.

Also if your on commission and you can sell its amazing. At my store that i worked at there was a guy in the computer department he was the highest paid Futureshop commission employee in all of Canada. He earned $120 000 in his best year

when i was there for a christmas season it was base or commission, commission was killer, like DXcivicHB said its gone to image 2 now which means they'll eventually phase out commission sales and be like best buy
