Having a fixed salary job can be of the biggest disadvantage to someone considering that with inflation, your salary can become less than sufficient for your basic needs in a short time, and since a salary job also means that the salary you are paid at the end of the month is also considered a consolation for the time spent in working for their benefits, you time is consumed.

A commission-based job puts value more on your job and pays you better for the time spent, and also give you time to find other interest and engage in self-development/growth. In a couple of years if you do a commission-based job you can on your own observe the level of growth and how developed you have become in that particular field but a salary job can keep you stale.

I would personally choose a commission-based job but also will not criticize those that choose the fixed salary jobs because truthfully the rigours associated with commission-based jobs cannot be handled by everyone.

salary base is simple because you got the job because you are specifically hired to do it and get paid after a week/month.

but it would take a special skill to take a commission base job and most of it needs marketing and salesmanship. i tried to be part of a sales force before it took me 3 months to finally got one client to buy a product and it was just my uncle who simply considers it because he just don't want me going home fruitless. i realized after what he said to me that sales job is not for me.  Grin

Most people will choose the salary base job since it will give them a stable money which is always expected every payday or should I say majority of them would choose this path as a stepping stones to their goal or a career choice plus it will give them an experience. But just like what the OP said, you can't control your time which is you have to work 8 hours a week depending if you have rest day.

But just like what the above said, it all depends to each individual but the more you have master a skills the more you will earn a profit from your commission based income. Plus you have a full control of your time and no bosses who calls you more often to be there in the office even if you are off to work.

For me, I'll choose commission based but I have to master a certain skills first or a career for commission based salary.

A commission-based job — easily. I'd prefer me having to earn more when I outperform and/or work harder rather than having a "safe" salary. It really depends on a case to case basis though; someone in a bad financial situation might want a stabler income especially if he/she sort of lacks the skills and connections.

I prefer career jobs or salary base jobs, as mentioned. This kind of job brings stability to the employee and his family. There are many potential benefits and increasements on his wage as he rises in career, while keeping the same workload.

On the other hand, if you want to earn more from comission jobs, you have to work more, you have to invest more time without the guarantee you are really going to earn more after all. There are less guarantees and benefits for this kind of employee. Social skills are also a must and not everyone is able to communicate to the public in a clear, charismatic and captivating way.

But since opportunities are scarce for all nowadays, we can't choose with what we want to work. Any opportunities available (since they are legit) must be taken in consideration even if it is not the job of your dreams.

The two types of jobs both have their differences to advantage and disadvantage the person involved but one thing must be also kept in remembrance for every applicant of job, soldiers go and soldiers come, having a job that is not comfortable enough for you to have peace in enjoying life is worth leaving, you can't best deliver the best and expected performances required if your mind isn't there at what you do, some job has been a source of harm to us but instead of leaving it, we continue to endure because there's no alternative to earnings for a living, job has not been intended to harm us the bad way and therefore we must never relent in finding the best suitable job to suit our taste.

This is an emotional touching story of a friend who is having some hard and difficult situation feeding for himself. After longtime of searching for paid job with no success he saw a job that will pay him in commission. This means you will have to depend for money with your success in the work daily, weekly or month depend on the agreement. This friend that got a job is now having more hard times to go out looking for customers to buy the product of the company that he is working for because it is a marketing company. He is depending on me for some support like to go to work, sorting him for transporting himself and sometimes feeding and I help to do this for him (a friend that is down today can be up tomorrow and may help you also in future, they say future is pregnant. Help a friend in need). I do this with him sometimes with happiness and good face. I encourage him that soon he is going to make big sales with big profit to cover all the time he is not having profit.

This taking me to the benefit of both kind of jobs and the negative side. Just few that I will cover

                  Benefit of commission job

1. Possiblity of high profit: This is very possible like I encourage to my friend. You can be lucky to have a customer making good demand of the product in high quantity plus good profit margin per unit of your product and you be surprised to cover more profit for that month against colleagues who chose to base on salary.

2. You have time for yourself: Commission job give you free time to go out, visit friends, go party and not to live a life to get monitoring by neighbours. It is not a 8am-5pm job. You decide the weekend time to yourself and how to do about the Saturday or Sunday.

3. No harsh talk or shout from boss: There you have your Independence and to report to company , no daily problem of not performing to company.

4. You can do more jobs: Yes the time you have, a wise employee can do more jobs or another business.

5. Good for high rank staff: If you are lucky to get to high rant in the organization, you have lesser challenges to meet up with sales. You have more network of customers to help meet your target.

                   Negative of commission job

1. Low sales or no sales at all: Like my friend as example. Sometimes this is challenging for that kind of job. If you are selling or dealing in season products or service, just know you will face this from season to season.

2. No productive time: If you are not wise, creative and with good energy you won't make use of the free time advantage. You will lazy around, weak and only focus on one job. If you are not smart this type of job is not for you.

3. You assume a self made boss: This is because you are having to control yourself, you can lose control and have ego that it will pull you down when not control.

4. A new member: If you are a new staff you can face financial challenges like example to my friend is.

              Benefit of salary based job

1. Salary expectation at the end of month: This is the reason and advantage why workers like this type of job. They know the ending of the month will put cash to the pocket.

2. Relax mind and no target attached: This type is not always target oriented. Some may attach target but normal office job is to do your part and expecting to be paid at the end of the month.


             Negative of salary based job

1. Laziness: This kind of job make for lazy workers and they play tricks and do little or no job and expect payment during the month end. This is why organisations put cameras now, at least apart from security to also know how employees perform.

2. No creativity: Such workers are not bother of innovation, diversify or do better or have their own business.

3. No personal time: You are limited, your time is occupied with work most times.

The salary base job having more negative effect than benefit. Benefit is more of salary expectation during the month end.
