Commission or regular pay

Do you work for commission only or do you earn regular pay?

I get a regular salary plus commission for add-on selling. We get commission as a lump sum once a month. So depending on how well you sell you can add an extra 50-100 dollars to your next month pay. Kind of nice when it shows up the same time as all the monthly bills.

I get paid an hourly wage.  There are no bonuses, no commissions.  Straight hourly wage.

I've had a commission job before, but it was on top of regular pay too...commission only is just dumb

I worked an 9 to 5 job.  I worked for regular pay.  I have never had a job that paid commission.  I am not a salesperson; I have no problems with buying things but I am not a salesperson, nor have I ever professed to be.

I work at Radio Shack now and I get paid minimum wage plus commission. I was nervous because Im not a natural born seller but after the training it wasn't too bad. Even though its minimum wage I never make that, I always get more per paycheck because of commission. But no id never survive on just commission. Its just tough because they put a lot of pressure on you to make goals but it builds your character and skills for sure.

Worked a straight commision job for years, well we did get NY minimum wage as it was required by law as the company was based there. Never made more money doing anything else and it was a motivator when you knew you were going to starve the next month if you did not get busy.

I can't say it is for everyone, the failure rate is around 90% I think. True you get paid 'what you are worth' but it requires great self discipline and sadly few folks have that to the extent needed.

Regular pay, but a commission would be nice.

     I like a regular payroll check from standard employment with fringe benefits. I have other jobs on commission...but I do them as hobby because life is very expensive and commissions are not available all the time.

Regular pay. And I perfer it that way. I can't sell anything. I'd be broke if I worked for commissions only.

I always worked for regular pay.  I know I would be too scared to work only for commission.  I know some people can make good money on commission, but it's not for me.
