My concern wasn't directed at the company itself but rather the nature of the job. While I don't claim to be exceptional at this role, I did outperform some of my colleagues who started alongside me. The workday typically began at the office, where we spent around two hours engaging in various activities like practice sessions, prep talk lectures, or watching lengthy Zoom calls. I found these activities to be rather tedious, and they often caused me to arrive at the stores later than I would have liked. The lectures and Zoom calls were notably repetitive. During the interview process, I felt that I was given a somewhat misleading impression. They emphasized their partnerships with renowned companies, which was partially true. However, the actual job involved selling AT&T phones in Sam's Club or Costco. Additionally, the compensation structure was somewhat confusing and didn't align with the initial job postings. Although one posting mentioned a base salary plus commission, it turned out that the position essentially operated on a commission-only basis (this was clarified during interviews). If your commissions didn't exceed the base pay, you received no additional compensation. Given the performance-based nature of the role, struggling to meet targets could be challenging. I want to emphasize that they would schedule individuals for only one day a week if they weren't meeting their goals, which I consider to be unfair. This made it difficult to recover due to the lack of hours available. Another noteworthy aspect is the frequency of extracurricular activities outside of work. While I appreciate team-building activities, they were excessively abundant. Whether it was extended Zoom meetings, in-office gatherings, or team nights, it often felt as if I were on the clock for the majority of the day in this role.
