How Much Does Radio Shack Pay?

Am planning to work at radio shack but dont know how much they paid am just a retail seller who working part time, if anyone know thank you!!!!

You need to go get you a edumacation son.


Dunno about the shack though.

as far as i know they go by commission- don't quote me on it though.

i do have an education just graduate from high school now attending college, just need a good job to upgrade my car.....

Depends on where you are. They pay whatever the minimum wage designated by the state is plus what incentives depending on the type of store.

There are two types of stores, a V store and a Y store. Y stores are paid minimum wage plus what are known as Spiffs, a commission like incentive that gives an extra few bucks per item that has a spiff attached (cell phones, service plans). A V store is a commission store. They get paid minimum wage plus commission off of items in the store.

Depending on how well you can sell the item and the customer, you can make quite a bit of money at RadioShack. I worked at one for a year or so and don't have any complaints.

Hope that helps.

north or south cali?? tried Slaveway? opps Safeway or Vons? the pay is OK, in bakery, produce, checker, night stocker, ANYTHING BUT buggie pusher..

Is english your second language??

yea... is that bad? or does it helps?

Ummmm, both. Its definitely a plus that you can speak a 2nd language, especially if its Spanish, but then again its a downfall if your English isn't all that great. As long as the averagej oe can understand what you're saying you'll be fine tohugh.

Radio shack pays by commission. Basically, if you make no sales in an hour, you get paid 5.15. It sucks, don't do it.

I bet thats why when ever you walk in there, there always leg humping you non stop eh?

lol icic.... yea am expert in both language thnx you guys

sure fooled me

Actually, that depends on the location of the store. If the store is in the mall, they will be all over you like a fly on shit. If it's a store somewhere in a strip mall, they're more likely to attempt talking to you on a personal level. It's all about the atmosphere of the store.

And about the pay, it's really not that bad if you know how to sell (which isn't hard). I put nearly 1k in the bank in around 2 months, and that was putting half of each check in. You can tell me that that's really not that much, but whatever, it's not as bad as people make it out to be.

You really need to work on your tenses. I have to read everything you post like twice.

You are certainly not an "expert"

I never said I was an expert. I figured someone who actually worked at RadioShack might have an idea about how they operate. Thanks for the suggestion as well. I'll keep it in mind:wink:.

Yeah, tigerclaw, lamehonda was referring to this post.

The job itself is pretty cool when it's dead (I had keys and an alarm code, so I would open/close and run the store on the manager's day off -- pretty much everything an Assistant Manager did, except withouthg the perks :rolleyes: ) Anywho, if you like gadgets, it's fun -- pay really does depend on location though. Strip malls, meh. Not as good as shopping malls or choice locations in areas where there are no shopping malls. It sucks pay wise though, unless you're good at selling things to people, which was hard for me, because I had no trouble helping them with what they wanted -- but when it came time to badger them with the benefits of a Verizon cell phone or talk up a DirecTV system, I got owned. Plus the location we were in was a tough one (in a strip mall 10 minutes from a shopping mall.) Myself and numerous others told the DM it was a tough place to sell out of, but I don't think he really bought it. Anyways, a year later and what do you know, I go back in there for something and and it's turned into a Y store (slightly above minimum wage, w/spiffs, but no commision opportunity.) That's usually the case with stores in difficult spots. Oh yeah, and the other sucky part is when you sell some $200 RC car to a guy, WITH the accessories :icon16: And the bastard comes back 3 days later to return it, saying his kid got one of those gas powered ones or something. BAM! Pure BS, and youre $250 in the hole sales wise. Of course, if pay isn't that important to you (you're still in HS or something) or you can manage to do OK, it's a pretty good place to get experience, particularly if you're going into technology-based fields. Plus the employee discount's pretty sweet :iceslolan

ok........ queerdo, stalker, i dont have to be perfect in typing, lameasshonda, does it concern you? i didnt know you care so much by reading my post twice, but thank to those who gave me info, unlike someone here try to put me down :eek7:

1. I am not sure what queerdo means, so you might want to get a better insult. Try "queerbait", for instance.

2. Look up the word 'stalker'. Note that nothing lamehonda is doing makes him a stalker, therefore he is not a stalker.

3. You AREN'T an expert in english. You probably aren't even an expert in your native language. English is MY native language, and I am not an expert in it. An expert in english would be, perhaps, the professor of linguistics at MIT. Need further evidence of your not being am expert in english? See #2.


I could go on, but I won't. We aren't trying to rip on you, so please don't rip on us.

Yeah, tigerclaw, lamehonda was referring to this post.
Ah, in that case, my bad and no harm no foul.

3kgt222, we don't care if you can't speak perfect english, or even great english. A lot of members on here come from countries where English is not the Native language. But they don't come on here and try to flame respected members here(lamehonda). You pretty much just lost all your e-points. Don't pass go, don't collect your 200 dollars :rolleyes:

dude, why wont you correct someone at the first place for saying i need an edumacation son like wtf that no help, "We aren't trying to rip on you, so please don't rip on us" i didnt even rip on anyone, I dont want to see anymore agrument please, just came here for some info

K, this topic should end now then and I'll pretend I never have seen it, alright.

I never said I was an expert. I figured someone who actually worked at RadioShack might have an idea about how they operate. Thanks for the suggestion as well. I'll keep it in mind:wink:.
Sorry about the confusion, my comments weren't directed at you :grinno:

The first post in the thread would be very hard to understand if we didn't already basically know what he was asking. If you want to work somewhere, it is essential that you can spell the name of the business.

I work at the radioshack here, we sell more hunting stuff and fishing stuff than anything else:P and I make $7.50 an hour

I have a friend who has been working at the shack for a long time. He's made over 900$ on paychecks many times.

one thing I can think of is....

ask radio shack.

What's "Raido Shack?"

Its the German version of Radio Shack :iceslolan
