Don't you guys get like 7% of the sale. Thats why my friend who works there told me, thats $70 for every $1000. Thats a lot of money.
You guys are always eager to help and you guys are pretty good at stacking the free after rebate offers. Free printer, battery backup, and laptop bag. Surprisingly i never get those rebates its like you guys photoshop them.
I hear the extended warranties are a bonus, 100% pure commission.i am a worm. -
Hey Flea person, you should be happy we're shopping at all. With the way the economy is going and the uncertainty in the Middle East, the minds of Americans seems to not care. It's really sad how we're so trap in our bubble that we don't care about anything else going on besides indulging ourselves with products from China.
Does Fry's have a contract with China? i think all of their products are made in China.
I heard from a friend that the Targus bags you sell at Fry's costs 2 dollars to make. -
Wow. MorganC, seriously, go away now. You're just posting nonsense.
American consumers should be curbing their purchases because of "uncertainty in the Middle East"? Right, so lets all just stop spending, cause the economy to go into recession, and then we'll see where we're at.
I'm not telling people that they should be spending every penny on crap they don't need, but it's a crazy idea to say that you should basically make bomb shell bunkers and hoard your money...
Also, since when was it even a logical thought that Fry's would have a contract with an entire nation? First, not all products are made in China. Second, how is Fry's any worse than any other store? Fry's carries the exact same products as any other electronics retailer... Does that mean they all have contracts with China too? Wow. Seriously, lay off the smack. -
I hate cocky customers ... they don't realize stuff in the ad doesn't pay us shit and they have us getting all these ad items and there like your making your commission... NO WERE NOT... plus most of the ad stuff sucks their just their to bait and switch the customers to better more expensive items that pay us commisionFry's is corrupt I am here to talk about it.

My gawd..... I just realized that I am a cocky customer. When I go to a store to buy an advertised Pioneer DVD burner for $69, and don't see it on the shelf, I shouldn't bother a salesperson to look for it. I should instead buy the Plextor for $199. Abu Harim Apoo will starve if I actually buy what I WANT. How insensitive of me to not spend 4X the amount I expect to.
On the serious side, bud.....why do customers HAVE to "bother" a salesperson for an advertised item 9am the day it goes on sale? Shouldn't they already be out? Or are you too busy doing other things that help your "bait and switch"........errrr I mean your "commission"? Me? I read ads, find what I want for the price I want to pay, and expect to get it. How little or how much pay/commission you make means nothing to me.
Nobody captured you from your native land, put a ball and chain on your ankle, and forced you to work for Frys. Don't like the pay/commission? Do what most people do....FIND A BETTER JOB.
Frys has more than their share of bitter employees........do I care? Not one bit. I give what I get. You treat me civil, and I'll do the same. You treat me friendly, I'll do the same. You cop an attitude with me, or act like I am wasting your precious time.....I will make you look like the fool you are in front of your fellow employees, and quite loudly. -
Customers need help. They came in for a product they saw in the ad and they expect to leave the store with it in hand. I think its stupid not to make these products readily available to them.
The accessory sales people are suppose to upsell them to a much higher priced quality product not the commissioned sales people.
The commissioned sales people should focus on higher ticket, higher gross profit, higher commissioned products.Howard Dean for America '08 -
Poeple don't make much commission. I've seen $3000 sales pay $35.
-
How long does it take to sell that $3000 item? Make $35 extra to boot? On the clock? Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me. Know how much extra an employee of Walmart makes for selling a $3000 item? Nada. And I'm willing to bet Frys employees make more than the $7 an hr the Walmart employees do.
Think about THAT the next time. Most retail stores no longer offer commissions at all. Be thankful. Every dollar commission you make is "free money".
-
What sucks is we are on a draw system so if you don't make a minimum amount of commission, you start to owe it back. I couldn't make enough because cameras where I worked usually payed like $0-5 each and I was put in a lower position with a paycut and it sucks.
-
The whole commision system is designed to motivate sales people. stop pissing off customers, be helpful and courtious and you will sell more. its funny how all the people complaining about pay are the same ones being rude and complaining about customers.
commision of any kind is a bonus. if you cant pay your bills because you didnt make enough money you need to either get better at your job or do somthing else.
ever think that the point of sales ads is to get the customer in the store. so help them find what they came for, smile, and maybe you can get them to buy somthing in addition to it that does pay commision. you dont have to bait and switch, happy customers will buy more stuff.
if fry's lost fewer customers due to rude service then they wouldnt have to cut commision. so when you have a co-worker thats an asshole to customers or steals from the store kick his ass and remind him your pay sucks because of him.
Dont forget to blame managment as well for allowing this kind of stuff to go on so long. id like to sit in on a training session once, i have to believe that this behavior is either encouraged by the managment or there training lectures are being grossly misunderstood by employees. -
Commission isnt a bonus. People who dont work on commission only say that! They worry about stability. They should worry about poverty.. you cant live on minimum wage.i am a worm.
-
i agree, commision for those who earn it typically is not a bonus
i am a commission based worker myself and there is a lot of pressure just to meet my monthly minimum to support my lifstyle.
but my point is that frys would do just fine getting rid of commission all together and hire some high school kids of the street for a straight $7 an hour.
the average consumer could care less if it were some high school kid fresh off the street or a commissioned salesperson being rude and uninformative to them. carrying the title sales rep also carries the responibility to know the consumer will expect more from you than the average minimum wage joe.
so for those of you that view customers with questions as burdens just remember that they are part of the reason you get paid commission. your paid to deal with the occasional pain in the ass.
the other part is to make your bosses money but thats another discusion.
for those that do get it.again ...thank you...keep doing what you do.
but the primadona salespeople that think that they are god and all customers with a question are evil you should consider yourself lucky your allowed to make commission in the first place. -
Mlbz your such a dumbass you keep repeating you self...we get your point if you don't like commisioned sales peole go to best buy and get ouf this forum! We were fine without your cheap ass anyways...I bet your the type of customer that comes in asking for cheap ass add pieces and don't buy a warranty and they you come in complaining and asking for help when your shit breaks.Fry's is corrupt I am here to talk about it.
