Re: Salary or hourly wage?
If you are a supermarket manager, you would def be better off on an hourly rate but that's never gonna happen!
A lot depends on the hours that you are guaranteed, wether they pay overtime or if you are just expected to do the hours that the job requires & lump it!

Re: Salary or hourly wage?
If you are on salary, you need to know what are the expected hours per week & do they pay overtime - not all jobs do so be careful on that as again, you can get screwed over.
I assume from the enquiry that you are going for a new job so loads of luck J!

If you are going on an hourly rate, you need a guaranteed number of hours minimum per week written into your contract otherwise if things go quiet you can really get screwed.
