Hhgregg

Unfortunately HHGregg has become a terrible place. I worked for this company for 2 years as a full commission salesman. I eventually left the company because even as one of the top electronic salesman every month, I was still not making draw some times. (The draw system basically says you have to make at least minimum wage with your sales. If you do not make minimum wage, the company will kick in what you need to get there, but you are forced to pay that amount back to the company the next check that you are above the Draw.) You get fired if you go into draw 3 times in a year. This system has been around awhile, and would normally be fine. The problem HHGregg has, is they don’t pay you an hourly wage, so they just keep hiring and hiring!!! They would have (and I have pictures of) 10 salesman standing in line on a weekday for over an hour at a time sometimes. They force you the salesman to clean the store top to bottom, while the warehouse employees who the DO pay an hourly wage sits in the back and goofs off. Management was a rotating door there because they treat their managers like shit just like they do their sale guys. I went through some where in the neighborhood of 9 – 10 managers in a 2 year period. The regional manager for the Bloomington area is a snake in the grass. pure corporate kool-​aid drinker all the way. He would do things like this for example. If you are a manager for HH you go to whatever store the tell you too, and to hell with where you live and how far you have to drive… a manager of mine was leaving the company because the regional promised him a move back to a store closer to his house and then never gave it to him. so when the manager put his 2 week notice in, the regional manager put the notice in 2 days earlier than he said he would and cost the guy like a $ 2000.00 bonus. Yeah. shady jerk offs. The only real way to make money in that store was to sell warranties on items. and their warranty company would not fix ANYTHING and they were expensive. This is a sinking ship. recently the CEO who was related to the family that started the company left all together. He saw the writing on the wall and got out before it sank.
