Pros
Lots of money during the holiday months. Going to different stores gives you an opportunity to meet new people, see different things.
Cons
Benefits for a company that consists of 3500+ employees is unacceptable. Paid $1000/month for health care that covered nothing, and had high co pays. Always paying out of pocket for things "not in network". Deacts (customers not paying bill through 6 months, service deactivated) Cost the average rep $450-1000 per month out of your paycheck.. So calculate the taxes,healthcare,deacts and your check is anywhere from $1900-3500 less than expected. But since you are 100% commission, there is no loss for them. Also, the Salesteam leaders, and GM also pick favorites they work the good shifts, then make the top goals leading them to forever get the best shifts. Also they change the standards EVERY month or other month. This leads to employees not meeting goals, getting written up and fired. The company is a "retailer" yet they are enforcing minimum standards similar to the corporate locations. The HR department is a joke, and outside of your mgmt good luck getting anything accomplished. leading up to 2012 it was 1099 only and you were hired on contract. Ask me how I know all this. Lets just say I spent a lot of time pretty high on the totem pole.
