Pros

No micromanagement,No micromanagement That's all I have for pros bc there aren't many. The other pro I guess would be you don't have to do tech work if you don't want to.

Cons

Horrible pay structure. Company has you on a draw system. Your hourly pay is drawn out of your commission check. Verizon pays cellular sales 2 months behind in commission so when you start with the company your draw checks put you way in the hole. So that means you won't climb out of that hole for a while. You won't start receiving commission checks until your 5th or 6th month unless your first two months on the sales floor is above $5,000 which is rare. If inventory goes missing they charge the reps that were working that day. Also there is very little management or oversight so reps end up ripping customers off or doing unethical business. Pay was absolutely horrible! Also you can not request days off, they just make the schedule and if you want that day off you have to beg people to take that shift. There are no part time employees to pick up shifts so normally no one takes your shift and you are penalized for not getting it covered. I worked for corporate Verizon wireless and it was a million times better in so many ways. Also on top of all that you have to work a different store every day and they do not pay for your gas.

Pros

Great coworkers (other retail sales associates) who will help you succeed and make deals and answer any questions you may have,

Cons

Given an ultimatum and threat of firing after 15 days of work for not outperforming the entire store. Completely unrealistic targets with added bullying. Long term coworkers agree & overheard manager totally bullied and singled me out for no reason.
