In my opinion, having any of these on your resume would be useless at best, and detrimental on average, assuming you're applying for a job you actually desire and that there's at least one competent hiring manager involved in the process.
That advice comes with the usual caveats and nuances. Keeping it short (by my standards), there are obviously exceptions and circumstances where this doesn't necessarily apply.
Unless you've got a VERY good reason for it, having a job that you left 10+ years ago on your resume is usually not a good look. That's especially true if it's with businesses that have crashed and burned.
For numerous, numerous reasons, it's a caution flag at best for most positions. It can come across as you playing the "you can't prove I didn't work there" card, that you don't actually have a lot going on career-wise so you're padding your resume with old stuff that doesn't actually show your current skill set / work ethic, or that you've stalled career-wise such that a high-level job from a decade ago is essentially where you peaked, and so on.
The thing is, it may be true that none of that applies to you, that you're actually a great worker, have up to date skills, etc but when employers are getting hundreds or thousands of resumes per open position, they get really selective and persnickety about who deserves more attention and who goes back into the digital abyss.
AND ALSO: RadioShack management would almost certainly be detrimental on a resume, based on personal experience. Even in the good times, they had largely a terrible reputation. Personally, I think I only ever had one good experience with a RadioShack manager and that was 40+ years ago. While store managers and regional managers are not the same thing, the store managers are reflective of the corporate culture that regional managers are responsible for. So, a regional manager would have even more blame for the poor corporate environment.
Wait...sorry having a job that's older than ten years old is a red flag? How do you think folks who have to prove 10+ years experience do it?
Don't you think "have to prove 10+ years experience" would qualify as a very good reason? I mean, I was pretty specific with that wording and even mentioned this...
