Pros

Co-workers are no older than 30 so it's a lively company. Great employee discounts on service.

Cons

If you don't sell, you get threats of write ups. You're expected to make cold calls to schedule appointments to create traffic, but that method is almost never reliable. There's an endless amount of meetings each month for trainings in which gets contradicted by the directions our managers and higher ups gives us. One hands on training will tell you to be considerate of the customer's pocket, but if the store is not doing well then you will be told to maximize as much as possible. You will get berated by management if the customer insists and only wants a bare minimum $50 plan without add ons such as accessories and insurance. You get in trouble if the customer walks because you're pushing all these extras on them and you will get in trouble if they only get the bare minimum. It's a double edged sword. It is ridiculous that we are trained to be proud for being the most affordable carrier, but we get lynched if the customer does not agree to an unlimited data plan on of all their phones, five tablets, all with bogus insurance on them, and four $250 speakers added. The commission structure is pitiful. The best commission check one can get is $800 and that is just during December.

Pros

Benefits such as insurance is a positive, customers at times as well

Cons

Management little to no existence for assistance, pay and commission is abysmal-almost comedic, long-continuous stretches in shifts with minimal accommodation such as one day off after six to eight work days in a row usually involving doubles, inconsistent scheduling, no involvement with leadership during customer interactions or for personal goal(s)- as it is made crystal clear only leaderships pay matters, as well as customers being adjusted to bend over and kiss attitudes. Management allows customers to not walk-but run in circles over reps, even if they’re clearly incorrect or the customer is actively attempting to scam and or steal. As a rep previously, witnessing violations against employees such as inappropriate conduct against employees in-front of customers upon other problematic practices, the so called ‘management’ will simultaneously lie to your face and engage in work place gossip- or in some cases retaliation behind closed doors. You will not grow here, you will stay at the lowest possible rank until you are pushed out of the company.
