Pros

If dedicated you can make great money! Give you the tools to run a business. Will sometimes change comp structure to help you get paid.

Cons

Work/life balance is terrible!!!!! District Managers love to use the phrase “By law we do not have to approve vacation”. They took the managers to Utah to tell them they don’t have to sell as much cutting the cap in how much they can make. Thus lowering how much the Managers Can make to pay the reps more. Then they fire/demote the managers that don’t lead the store in sales even though they are responsible for training, hiring, business prospecting, inventory etc. The Store Manager is LITERALLY responsible for everybody else’s position. There is a position called Business Account Executive that Store Managers have to call local businesses and extract leads for however the people in this position beg the Store Managers for their sales. The Store Managers are put under so much scrutiny because the District Managers don’t want to be involved with the responsibility. Upper management and HR are friends because of all the time they’ve worked together in other companies that were bought out by Spring Mobile. Promote and celebrate the most fraudulent individuals. They make the store manager handle every aspect of the store giving the reps and assistant store managers zero to no responsibility. The way the commission structure is set up Assistant Managers Can easily make as much as the store manager with half the responsibility.

Pros

I have had some great co workers with this company that made it a lot of fun coming to work.

Cons

The pay is poor compared to other cell phone sales companies. Upper management does not base decisions off what is good for the customer or employee, but what will put more money in their pockets. The sales techniques that are taught and recommended from upper management are very shady and show a lack of standards. Much of upper management sees all employees as disposable; keeping long term employees does not seem like much of a goal to the company. Basically, the compensation is less than other companies, the management style involves being two faced and being shady, and the most you can advance in the company is to a store manager, unless you want to stay with the company for 10+ years then there's the possibility of going to a regional director.
