ins isen`t a staple job ither but parts sales guys come and go alot due the economy last hired first fired

 

Im staying with my current job with good health coverage and decent pay. My wife is going to school for nursing now so we will be in the money when she is done with that. Thanks again guys for all your incite with this.

 

Parts counter people work on a commission basis, with a low base salary. If you are very fluent in MC's, and know a lot about parts to fit, could pay well. You have to deal with a cash drawer. Balances have to match at the end of the day.
I was asked if I wanted to move from shipping dept to parts counter. No go. I didn't want to deal with the money.

 

I do. I'm 20 years old so the money is great... I make more than most college students make. We work on commission AND an hourly base. Probably doesn't compare to what older guys with careers make though. But I dig it. Losing my weekends doesn't bother me, been in parts since I was 16 so I don't really remember what it's like to have a saturday off... lol . Cant say I want to do it forever though.

 

What's base salary anyway about?
