was offered 11.25/hr for sales, seems a bit low, I think, if I hold out for more, what's the chance I won't be offered the position. what would be the proper way of going about this and is it something I should talk to the hiring manager or HR about? thanks

Yeah, if you try and hold out, they're likely gonna say nevermind and offer the job to someone else. You're going for RSC right? Not exactly a position that has clout to give you negotiation room, or a position they can't easily fill with one of the other 30 people who likely want the job.

Hard to hold out for more money if you're not in a mid to upper level management position. There plenty of people just as qualified waiting if you turn it down.

The money is in commission not in your hourly. That is the going rate for new hires in Chicago.

what can typically be expected on the first months commission check for part-time? the manager said it's not a guaranteed commission but called it by another name; they weren't able to provide me with a figure however. any other input would be appreciated as it's always different coming from an employee.

haven't come across anything that mentions what to roughly expect on a first months commission check for part-time. on another note, in the packet I received, it mentions a "at-risk variable compensation" with a figure given; now is that figure a rough estimate of what to expect if I hit my quota at 100%? it seems a bit low, hope I can make much more than quoted. also, seems like I'm automatically enrolled in the union without even having been asked, is that something that I can say no to? from the threads I've read on here, it seems like there was always an option
