Cellular Sales reviews

-I have been here for one year and have come to realize the guys that hired me sold me a dream. They told me on a bad month i would make 5k and on a good month between 8k-10k, Very few people ever hit 5k where I'm at. What I have come to realize is if you want to sell with integrity and make a decent living this is not the company for you. -Corporate locations have much better deals and it is hard to compete with that. -You are payed off the "draw system". Meaning you technically get payed for every hour you are in a store but every penny of that comes out of your commission check. You also have what we call "Deacts". Deacts come from customers you sell to OR any rep that sells a phone while youre on the floor with them. If that customer deactivates their account within the 1st 6 months you get hit with half the total retail cost of that phone. So, lets say you made $3,000 and your draw checks came out to be $2,000 and you got hit with $700 in DEACTS (Which isn't abnormal) You now have a commission check of $300 before taxes. So you made $2,300 (before taxes/insurance) that month and you worked at least 5 days a week.

Slickster's.. Perception is an illusion. The dress code is only a cover. Most of these employees are young and former Bar hops, servers, and casino workers. Ethics are taught, morals are expressed, full disclosure is expected, but all thrown out the door in the hunt for a sale. They will push a sale down your 90 yr. Old grandmother's throat. They don't believe in selling what fits the consumers preference or personality. For instance, they have exclusive deals with particular manufacturer's, they will push this device all day, because they make the most incentives on it. This isn't a bad thing, but they represent Verizon, therefore customers expect honesty and Sincere advice. Not coercion to line your pockets. Training is a gauntlet. You get paid better than minimum wage, but it lasts too long. You don't get your first commission check until three months after you've started training. So, your making others money in training, then you start selling to qualify for full time employment, but you don't see that commission pay, you have to make enough to get a bonus. After this period, you are paid commission two months later. Which can be very lucrative, but can dwindle in the months between if you don't hit your numbers. Look at this job like a barber shop. You are paid upfront like a draw, but they deduct that money from you when paid commissions. This can work for people, and it is a very good opportunity, but you have to have very thick skin and be able to see dollars. Because the people you work with only talk about money, and aren't the most ethical around.
