Surely commission on top. And a Castrol GTX Bomber Jacket.

Im assuming as hes in sales his wage is commission based

However 120 basic ? is that allowed nowadays
Report buzzer • January 19, 2010 12:51 PM GMT
It'll be a small basic plus commission

Not just about the money this life malarky though is it.

And Canary you ve hit the nail on the head. Learning nothing, never going to get a promotion or pay rise. Bored out of my head tbh.
Report wur • January 19, 2010 1:05 PM GMT
What you going to learn at Pizza Hut? What experience do you have in catering that makes you think you could start a new job with them as a manager? Bored is better than stressed.
Report SPYKES • January 19, 2010 1:12 PM GMT
Its trainee shift manager position so I would be gaining experience of managing smallish teams.
And top and tail of it is Im not happy so I ll keep trying other things till I get at least a bit of job satisfaction.

Also would nt mind getting on with 1 of the big supermarkets, so the experience would be more in line with that, than what I currently do.
Report Ivor • January 19, 2010 1:16 PM GMT
Not a good attitude to approach a new career is it really. I can understand you are not enamoured with the idea - but you will hardly perform well wth that attitude before you even start. Loosen up a bit - try and be positive about some aspect of the job at least. It could turn out to be a role that suits you, you do well and really enjoy.

I had a job with Arnold Clark (sounds like where you are), Spykes.

I stayed precisely 45 minutes.
On leaving, I said to one of the others there, "Is that a record".

He said it wasn't.

To be fair study I dont really get grief of the boss's for not selling more.

Pretty fed up with the hrs and people ignoring me and only wanting to deal with other guy who has been here 10 yrs and they come to buy off him. He sells twice what I do. and its not got above 7 degrees in this showroom since Nov fecking freezing.
