WARNING TO POTENIAL EMPLOYEES:

H.H. Gregg is a career move you surely could live without, it would be your worst nightmare and you would probably make more money doing home deliveries of you local newspaper door to door.

I am a former employee who is surely not bitter do to the fact I have a much better job (real job) now so please don't get me confused with someone who is a disgruntled employee. The first lie they tell you is that you can make up to $20 per hour, nothing can be further from the truth. You are lucky if you make ten since they only pay $7.25 per hour on a forty hour week in a commission v.s. draw pay system. If you have the misfurtune of working over 40 hours and don't make $300, they will give you overtime hours (time and a half) on every hour over forty that you did not ask for. If you don't make enough to cover the overtime money in sales they take it back from you on you next check. Sound good to you, it is not. You are taxed on the higher total, you don't get that back which means you worked for nothing.

The manager is named John Cool at the Roosevelt Blvd location in Philly and his only concern is not you, it is the store. If a coustomer wants to buy a product which pays you $75 in commission and you can not close the deal with a reasonable price the store will take it to under cost just to get the volume. Managers get paid on store volume, you do not. Now your $75 has srunk to maybe $8 and they expect you to be a happy camper with that. They strive to keep their pockets fat and keep you in the poor house. Don't fall for the myth they state to you about their deficit policy, it is all in the favor of store management.

One last note, they treat the employess like crap. It is the worst place you could imagine when you have to go in everyday. You are forced to follow the customers around like they are thieves not letting them look around or even breathe. When you ask them why is that the policy they quote, " If you don't want to be confronted go to Best Buy". I have been waiting to see a customer run off with side by side refrigerator so I can film it and place it on U TUBE. In all reality, Best Buy is still the better choice. SAY NO TO H.H. GREGG !
