Archived Undercover AP promotion

[whippingboy]

I heard that an AP at our store got recently promoted. However he negotiated his starting wage. I thought all positions had set hourly wages (except leaders) - is it true that wages are negotiable?

You're correct! APS and SrAPS are considered leaders in the building. I asked about that specifically when I was at one of our sister stores

Wages are negotiable if you are good at interviewing and your position is valuable.

Most people would not dare to negotiate salary, especially at a low-level, hourly job. But ones that do, and know how to say it, can, and have a good chance of succeeding.
