The people are awesome, the job not so much - Account Manager Team 210 Employee Review

1. It is draw on commission. If you sell more than 3 accounts a week you get paid commission($125 per account), if you don't you get a supplemental check of $300. Basically you are being paid $7.25 for 41.5 hours worth of work. And the supplemental checks aren't really a pay check, it is basically a loan. You have to pay back the supplemental checks you receive. For example, the next week you sell 6 accounts and you think you are going to get an awesome check, you have to account for the supplement you have to pay back. You also don't get paid on the accounts that aren't installed. For example, if you sign up 8 new customers and only 4 get installed then you only get paid for the 4. 2. The hours are insane. They say you work from 11:00am to 8:00pm but really you work all day. "Top leaders" are supposed to be in the office by 10:30am at the latest. And Depending what Walmart store you are given you may not get home time 9:00pm or later. For example, they have 20 plus Walmart stores in their territory. Some are in San Antonio, but most are out of town (Pleasanton, Pearsall, Kerrville, Uvalde, Hondo, Borne, Seguin, and Floresville). Most of the time you go to the store in pairs and sometimes you will go solo. They say going solo is a test of your mental strength, but really it's is an excuse that the traffic in the store is too slow and they won't send 2 people. Keep in mind also that they do not reimburse you for gas or mileage. 20% of the employees do not have vehicles and or are too broke to pitch in on gas. So if you are driving gas is basically at your expense. 3. You are also expected to stay in the store later than 8:00pm if you have not made a sale by 8. It isn't required, but at the same time it is frowned upon. They take it as you aren't giving your full effort and you aren't management material. The call center for processing accounts is open till 10 so they expect you to stay in the store till 10. 4. If you have a personal life or a life for that matter kiss it goodbye once you start. This job will consume your life. Your friends will become co workers and your co workers will become friends. There is no sense of professionalism and a lot of profanity in the office. It is very hard to respect managers there when you probably saw them getting drunk the night before. This work environment resembles a fraternity and or college. Work during the day and party all night. 5. Business Trips. They aren't business trips, traditionally you get a per diem and living expenses paid for. You are working out of another cities Walmart’s and staying at another owner's house, paying for gas/mileage, and your food. It's not a business trip at all, they say its boot camp for sales, but really it's just awkward and expensive.
