Pros

• Great Team Environment. • You can move up in the company fast if you make sales.. • Decent commission if you make enough SALES (You have to make more sales commission than your hourly to get paid anything extra). • Business professional dress code. • Some co-workers who are willing to help.

Cons

• Wasted tons of gas driving to and from work while only making $10/hr. • Standing in store all day trying to sell DirecTV to shoppers. (Most people hate Directv) • Potential to get stuck with a VERY BAD Team Leader • Training program is poorly designed. Stressed employees are to train the new hires with hand written notes on a dry erase board in a limited time frame with music blasting in the room every day. • You have to write lots of notes and you're expected to memorize all of it in very short time frame. • You're expected to attend UNPAID extra curricular activities (conference calls and meetings before/after work most days). • They seek entrepreneurs but expect you to do things a very specific, uncomfortable and scripted way, "Follow the system". (Memorize pitches word for word for each store and sound like a robot repeating yourself to everyone that walks by)

Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, as well as letting us know what you liked and disliked. We take all comments very seriously and strive to continue to improve. I am so glad you enjoy our team environment here, we honestly believe we work with some of the best and positive people around. It really makes is easy working with driven happy people, it is one of the reasons I love coming to work everyday. Also, we currently work with 7 national fortune 100 companies DTV is just the longest account we have had, and since acquired by AT&T it has been better then ever. Also, we do have turnover just like any other company, but it is not high. We do offer salary based positions with the opportunity to make commission on top of that to increase your income, we find most employees like. Also, I do agree you have to work hard at our company, nothing is going to get handed to you here, we are only looking for self-motivated and hard working individuals. We also have made our schedule more friendly so we offer multiple shifts and we do not work past 8:30 p.m. We offer a gas stipend for employees who qualify, but we do not reimburse mileage or tolls. We will take into consideration the volume of the music. We strive to create a comfortable work environment for each of our employees. We wish you the best of luck, and hope you find something that makes you happy.

Pros

I love the team atmosphere. Being able to advance quickly in the company is awesome. I know the people who surround me have great values and ideals and hold themselves to a higher standard. If you are a high energy, driven, extroverted person who loves to talk this job might be for you too. Working with Optimum Retail Dynamics so far has expanded my knowledge of marketing, customer service, management, and client relations. You can definitely make a lot money here if you actually put in the effort.

Cons

You can honestly blame yourself if it doesn't work out for you. Awesome training program that gives you the skills and assets you need to be successful.
