Scarlet Rose asked:
My boyfriend is thinking of applying for a job as a member of sales for the United States phones. Make a time salary plus commission or just an hourly salary / just a commission?
How much money can you make as a sales associate for a cellular company?

Every sales job is different. Often times it may be commission only. Sometimes though, you may get a regular check to to bring you up to a minimum that your commissions aren’t covering. Naturally though over time it’s phased out assuming you’ll be earning above the minimum on commission alone.
