• Coached employees to help them excel in a business that is commission based

• Provided customer satisfaction and knowledge of the product and was there to answer customer – more...  questions

In a million dollar store you pretty much worked open to close, the work force program short staffed you. Inventory was to be done once store was closed 8 or 9pm depending on your location and you were there until 2-3 am and had to be back to work at 8am. If there was a break in at your location you had to go in, when it happened and wait for the repair – more...  service to come and fix - window / door. Being robbed at gun point is not a fun!!! – less

a typical day at work includes updating price tags, dusting, cleaning off dusty products, and anything necessary to keep the environment clean and welcoming to customers.

Almost a complete waste of near 5 years of my life. Upper management has no clue what they are doing and they put too much pressure to achieve goals that have little impact on the productivity of the work place. Employees are just numbers that are easily replaced.

Laid back place with lots of friendly faces. Learned a lot about consumer electronics. Some customers can be a handful but overall a good place to work.

writing up employee reviews, hire/interview new

employees when needed,make employee schedules,implement employee

payroll, take stock inventory of entire store,in communication with

district manager,in conference calls with over 18 stores,resolve

customer conflicts, transfer/receive merchandise, train employees on

new company systems, and educate – more...  employees on upcoming technology. – less

A typical day at work would consist of: Making sure all sales tags were put out, making sure all previous cleaning duties from the night before were done, running cashier, putting away product, running customer credit checks for internet/cell phones, and having fun!

Slow commission based opportunity, great for entry level posistion

As soon as you would clock in there would be a meeting on how we had done so far in the day and what we needed to do to improve our sales. I learned all the different things about cells phones,tv,electronics etc. I enjoyed working here the most because everyone that I worked with was very nice and all the customers were great. The hardest part of my – more...  job was trying to meet my goals every month, some months we are ridiculous busy and others we are extremely slow. – less

It was my first job while being in high school. My manager was a very mean person to all of the employees. A normal day I would sell 30 items, and other electronics to customers. Answer a quick few phone calls, restock the shelves, and clean the store. Occasionally I would put promotional posters up on the walls or windows. I had the best co-workers. – more...  Always challenging me, and making sure I did my job. They would teach me things my manager never even told me, The best part about the job was putting a smile on the customers face, and making sure all needs were met. The hardest part was trying to keep up with phone sells. At the time not to many people were buying plans and were more into prepaid phones. – less

RadioShack is not hard work unless you don't know a lot about technology. Radioshack doesn't have security so there's a lot of multitasking involved. If your good in sales then it's the right job for you.

I would help people as soon as they walked in the door. I learned about cell phones and technology. We changed management a lot for some reason. I loved my co- workers because we worked as a team. My favorite part of this job is working with people.

I was treated poorly because I'm female. I was denied advancements, and my sales were routinely stolen. In addition, the pressure to achieve the minimum $75/hour sales drives competition into a frenzy and tears the team spirit apart.

I used to work for the wireless retail side at Target stores and management at Radio Shack doesn't care how you get sales (selling cell phones) even if it's crooked and against the law. Management lies to you about job security and the company pays very little on big ticket stuff

-Fun
-Enjoyed learning and meeting new people
-great pay
-Open environment
-A lot of trust put into employees as you are around expensive technologies

Always a busy day at work, never a dull moment,full with fun activities and meeting different customers

I had a great time working here but the pay was horrible. Only minimum wage and the only way to get more pay is to become a manager.

One Of My Favorite Company's Of Them All
Learn A lot About The Electric Field

Company is very easy to work for as long as you sell cell phones. You are ranked among your peers.

If you can get to work with a great manager, then you will have fun at this job. It is a pay or commission based job with lots of benefits.
