My friend says that her friend works at Circuit City as a regular sales associate and she makes $30/hour with no commission included. Is this true? She supposedly owns 2 cells, $500 palm... etc. so she does have some money coming in somehow... Does Circuit City pay that much?

I though CC salary was all commission :confused:

Anyway, there is a least one CC employee who posts here, so I am sure he will know the answer.

wow, that is insane. I do not even know of any HD employees that made that, and HD pays handsomly for experenced pros.

<edit>
I mean hourly, not management.

Unless she is a manager, no.

Circuit City does have hourly associates, known as Sales Specialists. CSA's are also hourly. However, they make under $10/hour. All real sales people are PURE commission. There is NO minimum wage, NO base rate, its all commissioned. If your friend works at a very busy store, and is a very good sales counselor, and it is Christmas time, it is quite possible to make $30/hpur though.

hmm, i don't think a regular sales associate at CC makes $30/hour,, I'm guess some where around $10-$15 max without commissions.

Did you know that CC in SF/DALY City lost alot of money due to some/lots of their employee were swipping stolen creditcards to purchase goods, Digital cam, Camcorders, laptops, protable dvd players, CAR decks, PDAs and yes , cell phones, plus ,well anything that's not too big but worth some $$$.

Anyways.,, you dont' really need a $30/hour job to afford 2 cells and a $500 PDA., you can do it with an $6.75/hour job :)

Oh, and you don't need to make $30/hour to have that stuff....I only have one cell phone, but it cost me $450, and I have pretty much every other toy of that sort, all making $15-20/hour on commission.

Made the board name long ass time ago and only lurked on the Hot Deals forum for the longest time. I usually post here when my home forum is slow or boring (ie - tonight). Plus I'm starting to like it here, just getting a feel for the place I guess.
