yes, it is something to that effect. it is percentage based though, not a hard number based

salary plus commission with a percentage tier? how's that work?

base salary gets paid bi-weekly

commissions are paid once a month. the commission structure is set up so that if you hit your goal number of activations (sub), you "should" be at a certain $$$ value (may be more, may be less)

if you achieve over 110% of your sub goal, cetain paid items increase in value retroactive to the beginning of the month, and then increase further if 125% over the sub goal.

gotcha...you mind talkin hard numbers...i'll give you a few first...goal was 60 activations last month...hit 128...commission for phones accessories and features or add on's is just under $3700...will pay be close to that or what is the highest comm check someone at your store has made?

last month @ my store:
sub goal 50
attainment: 51 (i took a week off for my wedding)

commission will be around $900
(bad month for me, usually is around $12-1500)

our base pay is probobly higher. they changed our commission structure in april, which raised our base and lowered our commissions.

for example, in feb., my commission was aroound $2700 for around 50 subs.

i'm still on pace to make $45k this year 😎

thanks for the insight jinx7676. we heard hourly was around 12.75/hr in union...true...or partially true...btw im in northern region near chicago(are they union up here??)...also our hourly is about 10-11, depending on tenure and yearly reviews. most start at 9.85 or 20,500 yearly. Most reps also make about what you make...im lucky enough to be top 5 in chicagoland...exception to the rule i guess 😉

keep this in mind our union contract expires feburary 2005. So things are going to change.

union contract expires in feb 2005? are all retail sales in the union?? do ya'll get OT? and at att we're salary also, but i just broke it down into an hourly for comparison purposes.

You are a salaried communication specialist?? I have not heard of non-hourly retail salespeope in AWS.

yes all sales rep are ppart of the cwa union (communication workers of america) yes we get ot after 40 hours,

when hired we sign an offer letter stating that our yearly salary will be 21,500 or something around that. on our paychecks, it breaks down our hours worked times the hourly rate (21500 / 2080 hours). When we work overtime, it multiplies hourly times 1.5. we also get paid every two weeks with one commission check a month.

dont worry about it. the contract will be renewed. its not like the NHL 😕

i kinda figured you broke it down to an approximate. 😉

yes we get OT

it's salary, not hourly, but your number is close. it all depends on tenure, like you said. i'll have been here a year in nov. so i'll be getting my first raise. 😎

I'm an agent, and I pay my employees 1k/mo salary + $15/line upgrade or new line, and tiered bonuses at 50, 75, and 100 lines (150, 300, and 500) Generally my reps do between 40-70 lines a month, so they end up with about 25k/yr. Some reps at other stores have been all the way up to 46k in one year though.

hey esteinmaier, thats pretty good for an agent comp plan...i've done both agent sales and now workin for parent company and the grass is pretty green on this side of the fence...which is why i'm concerned about acquisition...
