Business Outlook Surveys Job Title: Sales Specialist Location: Issaquah, WA Submitted on: 06-Feb-03 Job Title Workplace Survey Sales Specialist The good: Best team environment, interesting work, great people. I also enjoy an easy commute and reasonable dress code. The bad: As a Sales Specialist, I'm salaried, and scheduled 48-50 hours a week. I don't spend the majority of my time doing non-exempt work and if I divide my salary by the actual hours worked, my hourly wage is less than what I made as a cashier. The ugly: Human Resources policies. The recent change to vacation makes business sense, but their way of explaining it was a three page story problem. The HR policies skirt the gray area of FSLA on salaried positions. An HR policy prohibited me from getting more than a 20% pay increase when I went from a part-time hourly cashier to a full-time salaried specialist, even though the position are completely different and I have the education and experience required for the sales position. If I'd been hired into the position from outside the company, my salary would be $5000 more a year, but because of the internal promotion policy, I'm getting screwed.
