Negotiation Details
They tell you you are going to make a great deal of money... that sales are easy and bonuses are plentiful. It's all smoke and mirrors. You are going to basically make the low salary only.

Interviewed Jun 2010 (took 1+ week)
The initial Hiring process begins online, where you'll take a personality test, and a skills test to see if you qualify. Oddly enough, now that I do interviews, I can say, it's more important to just answer honestly, than to answer the questions the way you think we want them to be. Next would be a Fast phone interview to make sure youre interested, and meet some minimum requirements such as being able to get to the store, and so on.
Next is the 1:1 Interview. Since almost all of Radioshack's District managers are new ( Radioshack has well over a 100% annual turn over rate in all of the field jobs such as sales associate manager, DM, RSD, etc) You can BS your way into a store in no time, Simply Talk about Wireless phones, and how you want to sell them most of all, than add in a few sprinkles of Selling accessories, and helping customers use the items, and of course, Extended Warranties. If you keep the conversation about those things, you'll be hired nearly on the spot.
Of course, there will be interview questions like " tell me about a time you weren't able to help someone" Just make up something that sounds good, but includes you finding something else they needed. Works every time for these rookie DM's
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Negotiations? There aren't any, in Radioshack, it's take it or get the hell out! Trying to negotiate will essentially put you on the list of Do Not Hire - Problem Maker. Also, they will try to sell you on the job like an amway rep, saying things like You'll probably make around XX after bonus's DO NOT expect to ever recieve a bonus here, it's rigged so you almost can't, Sales plans are adjusted constantly to avoid paying anyone a bonus, so ask simply what your Base pay is, And don't expect more.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in Stamford, CT (took 5 days)
I applied online after a visit to a local store. It took about 3-4 business day before I received an email asking me to come in a take a brief skills test. The test only took about and Hour and it was administered at the district managers office in town. Simple math and arithmetic were measured and by the end of the week i was asked to come in and meet the manager of a surrounding store. I was hired on the spot, there was really nothing to it.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Garden Grove, CA (took 2 weeks)
I had a one on one interview with one of the District Managers at the district office. Interview went great and he was excited to get me started working immediately. He also made some promises that weren't fulfilled while working at Radio Shack.

There really is no negotiation. its a minimum wage job even for someone who graduated from a 4 year UC school like me. I had also previously worked as a Staff Accountant before this job making substantially more. Still....pay is the same for everyone.
