Pros

Cellular Sales is the only sales job where I can make my own schedule. Other sales jobs and opportunities make promises of customers, money and light work hours. Cellular Sales made two promises to me when I started here. Promises that consisted of Customers and Inventory. What you do with those two things would naturally be what makes you or breaks you in the Cellular Industry. But what makes this sales company differ from others is the amount of support you receive to achieve success. From the day you are hired you get follow up from the big guys up stairs to make sure everything is going okay, if you have questions and if there is anything you would like to change to help improve. The company is organized like a well oiled machine. This makes getting things done very quick and painless. The stores are very well organized and make for a very appealing environment to work within. Moving up within the company and moving within the company can be very easy and quick. Being able to send an email to have a day or few off is pleasant. They set adequate yet easily achievable quotas and allow you to chase these quotas from the office and on the go if you have your own computer or tablet. The "team" essence is very clear cut here as well. Everyone wants to see everyone succeed and you HAVE to be a team player. Benefits are comparable and competitive. Very fast paced energetic environment.

Cons

The only true con of working here is that it is still a sales job at heart. And with this being a cellular industry your phone has to stayed glued to you at work and away from work. And it will ring. I recommend getting a work and personal phone. Being that this is retail as well, it can make costumer service pretty difficult when tasked with an angry customer. So patience is a must. Lastly the stress can be bountiful at times. You must have patience.

Pros

Flexible schedule(ish), decent commissions for a beginner sales person.

Cons

Worked here for a little over a year and a half. The first region (or market as they call it) was okay. Fun group of young energetic people who enjoyed having a good time; however, they definitely do not make it easy on you to make money. Moved to another market (dfw). It was miserable. I had to drive over 25 miles frequently to a slow store in a bad part of town to only have conversations with homeless people and drug addicts. They will or could show you a few nice stores in a good part of town and tell you that you will get to work close to home, but this was far from true. They used a "draft" system to pick which stores you would be working in for the month; which has its perks for sure, but in all likelihood you will struggle to get a high enough pick to make a good schedule, because if you start slow or miss some time you move to the bottom of the draft and could not move up to better stores unless you are able to get a tone of appointments. In the end, my breaking point was no commission checks for three months. I was eventually mailed several checks for what I assume was the correct commissions; however I had already left the company and it was too little too late. It was commission only and they took commissions back if for one reason or another the customer cancelled their service before a few months had gone by. It was a boring job, with few benefits. Some people have great success and love it. I never really did. I made some decent money in one market for a while, but as soon as I got to DFW it all went down hill in a hurry. Buyer beware for sure.

You won't find the same money or flexibility anywhere.

Pros

For one the schedule flexibility helps maintain a good work/life balance. If you want to work a lot then you can pick up extra shifts, but if you want a few days off you can have them covered relatively easy. The opportunity to make money is in your hands. The harder you work, the more you make. I have not worked a sales job that was this easy, and made the same money. Work / Life Balance. You can maintain a healthy work / life balance because of the flexible schedule, and ability to work from a mobile laptop. Never a dull day. The schedule moves you between local stores every day, so the job doesn't get stagnant.

Cons

If you don't push yourself to reach out to customers you will not do well. This job is not for people that want to be "glorified clerks". This job is for people that like to make money, earn money, and want to get paid for the work they put in. If you don't like pushing yourself to be better than this isn't the job for you. Very little room for job advancement. As a 100% commission job, reps (aside from team leaders) all have the same position.
