RadioShack

Before I started at Radio Shack of Canada I knew nothing about electronics.
In order to build my product knowledge I asked questions form fellow sales associates and mangers. I may have driven people crazy because I asked so many questions some more than once.  I also used whatever other resources I could find. i found out that I had a thirst for knowledge
It was through my on going learning about the product and my natural people skills that I soon developed and maintained a loyal customer or guest base. I quickly learned to not just like retial but to love retail and have a passion for it.

A Sales Rep may work 3 to 5 days per week.  Duties include all aspects of sales (presenting, closing, processing sales entry, handling cash, plus inventory listings, merchandizing and maintenance.  Careers in management are excellent for devoted, motivated sales-oriented people.  One deals with an intriguing cross-section of the latest electronic equipment (computers, mixers, stereos, TVs, etc.)

Easiest: interacting with customers

Hardest: Inventory, daily reports

The first company in the world to sell electronics, which is absolute Highest level of customer service, the highest prevalence of the Company in the Middle East, provide for their workers get the Training courses the highest level in the world in the field of Customer service, such as New Horizons, courses Radio Shack in selling skills and computer courses on point of sale and other .

Well my friend was my boss at first he was fair when it went under new management the job turned for the worse the job was easy and I did okay with it but they did push too much on selling warranties too much. 
A typically I was stalking the shelves doing innovatory returns and sales

I took care of scheduling and payroll mainly at the same time learning how to meet customer needs and wants.
I enjoyed dealing with my district and regional management including employees.
The most difficult part of my job was working on weekends yet I enjoyed the sale volume during that period.

I sorted the back room for most of the time, I also helped costomers when they needed it. I learned that there were alot of good and bad days. My co-workers were really good to work with and if I needed help with something they were always there to help. The hardest part of the job was sorting the shelves and the most enjoyable part of the job was being able to work by my self.

The Radio Shack I was working at was one of the last privately owned dealer stores.  We handled everything from home to industrial electronics.  I am not going to add much to this review because the experience I had there is likely nothing like the work experience someone would get in a corporate store these days.

This position helped me learn how to better help and train not only my employees but also help the customers and also help the community. the hardest part was maintaining inventory and. The best part of my day was being there and helping everyone.

Radioshack or The Source as its known in Canada, is a work based culture. In order to do well, you'll have to socialize and work the same people. It's like highschool with financial responsibility and a little paycheque. Good experience if your interested in starting a business one day on your own.
