£17,000 to £18,000 for a manager position doesn't seem a lot is that the going rate?
And I winge how much designers get paid I'll keep my mouth shut in future.

In reply to trish1968:

I'm assuming the lure of being able to live in North Wales and work for a climbing brand may keep the wages lower?

In reply to Monk: I suppose so I was just shocked such a big brand would pay so little for their sales staff.
I live in Manchester not the most affluent area but the wages are obviously better.

In reply to UKC Gear: I've reread the job descriptions it's office staff not actual sales reps that explains a lot

In reply to Monk:

Not really, they look like pretty standard salaries for that sort of job in the 'climbing industry' to me. Which is why we all tend to get pretty peeveed when we here complaints about the price of kit.

In reply to IainWhitehouse:

I'd agree (hence the second part of my sentence). Also, I don't think the other two wages for the admin posts are bad at all.

In reply to Monk:

Basically 15-16k for a job that basically only requires only some nous, few computer skills and to use a phone?

I'd say that was pretty good.

In reply to Mark Westerman:

That's what I just said!

In reply to Mark Westerman: heee heee sounds like my job but without the phone. Think I'll stick to designing.

In reply to Mark Westerman:


Shame, if only you'd had the computer skills you could have applied.

In reply to UKC Gear:

What's happening to the poor sods in Tidza who've lost their jobs then?

In reply to Tyler:

and you'd get a payrise.

Monk - sorry I was meant to be agreeing with you.
