Pros

There is nothing good I can say about the company.

Cons

I worked for the MD division of Cellular Sales. I was sucked in at a job fair in Baltimore MD. Let me start with false advertising and misrepresentation. I bought the pipe dream of set your own schedule and make loads of money in commission. They send you to a training in NJ that you have to arrange your own transportation to and from without compensation. This training can and should be done locally instead of wasting time and money on a training facility and trainer. The management uses illegal tactics to scare qualifying reps, such as threatening to fire them if they do not get a car. Check MD law, that is illegal. If the rep doesn't qualify in the first month the company withholds the commission, so the rep is essentially working for nearly nothing while everyone else makes commission. Management has no respect for the employees requested days off and autofills them where and when they choose. The qualifying rep is also at the mercy of the key holder, so if the key holder is late opening the store the rep is late too. I find it hard to believe that their computer system is so antiquated that they cannot correct the the arrival time for scheduling draft placement and payment purposes. The staff is low and people are quitting all the time and I can see why. Please beware when getting into business with Cellular Sales in MD!

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.
