Average for Lower Positions

• Many senior advisors work in retail, helping customers out with their questions. Because these positions do not require extensive education and are related primarily to direct training, often on the job, they invoke lower salaries than other types of advisor positions. A senior advisor at GameStop, for example, was paid $8.54 an hour on average in 2011. At Walgreens, a senior advisor made $9.15 a hour.
