Thanks for the feedback! We're thrilled to hear you had a positive experience with your team and manager, especially Arsen and Juan. We strive to foster a supportive and friendly work environment. Our General Sales associates do have a base rate of $4.00 per hour. However, their total earnings consider both their commission and base pay to determine their hourly rate over a two-week pay period. Right now, our General Sales associates are averaging about $21.00 per hour throughout the company. We continuously evaluate compensation structures and are committed to offering competitive wages and benefits, including commission opportunities that can significantly impact overall earnings. We wish you the best of luck in your career! Best - Jennifer Rex - Senior HR Generalist – 614.850.3250
