Pros

The company offers AMAZING benefits.

Cons

Contsantly changes commision structure to make it harder to make money as a sales rep. Management has forgotten what real world sales are like. This particular job SUCKS and I mean SUCKS, and this is coming from someone who probably loves verizon more than lowell mcadam. This position requires you to be a sales rep, manager, trainer, tech support and customer support and they are paying us pennies. You never really get a day off because of the constant phone calls from stores. Targets are ridiculous and a joke, Base salaries are waaaaay too low for this job, you are capped on commission and only get paid quarterly. Empty promises from upper leadership. absolutely ZERO support from resources which makes this job worse. Getting someone approved for a business account is as rare as snow in florida which makes hitting your numbers difficult. The position is so bad all you can do is laugh and joke about how bad it is. If you are considering applying for this position... I strongly urge you to either wait till they "fix" it which is what we are all hoping or wait for something else to come around. This job will force you to look somewhere else because you're stuck in it for a year.

Pros

Compensation is competitive but you will work very hard for it. Culture is excellent and exhibited and practiced from the top down. Benefits are excellent and cost reasonable. 401k match and profit sharing. Lots of training and professional development opportunities. Can advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Company is trying to transform into what it wants to be beyond a wireless carrier (cloud?, security?, telematics?, wholesaler?, etc) and is struggling with a vision, resources, and org structure to make it a reality. Several re-organizations over last few years so job security has frequently been a question. Often delayed response to competitors caused by management's concern that acting would result in not meeting Wall Street expectations. Not the "happiest" place to work because no result is ever good enough and successes aren't celebrated because the focus is always on the next weekly/monthly/quarterly goal.
