Non competitive commission and bad benefits
Pros
Pretty relaxed environment, casual dress
Cons
The commission structure of this company is among the lowest in all retail cell phone sales. They have removed the bottom several rungs of the commission ladder intentionally. If you fail to hit a minimum goal all of your commissioned new activations will not be paid out. This model along with their spiff-based incentivizing model creates a massive disparity between busier stores and slower stores. The hourly rate and wages are somewhat competitive but considering their lower commission structure should be higher. The automatic raises are a fantastic idea but the amount of profit needed to trigger the automatic rays is excessively high especially for low volume store employees. Only one week of paid vacation per year is kind of a joke these days. I know that most people after a year get two to three weeks even working in fast food. And don't even get me started on the healthcare benefits the company they use is easily one of the worst, the best year of package has an absurdly high deductible and the insurance company itself will try everything they can to not pay for even basic preventative doctor visits. And you better hope you don't have to go to the emergency room because the first $5,000 of that is coming straight out of your pocket.
