Hello thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback at this time. We are sorry to hear about some of your experiences while working for our company. Our company always tries to provide a positive work environment to our team members that is fun and rewarding. As our company continues to grow and being a salaried employee, you may be required to work more hours than the typical hourly employee. As a sales driven company, we are open during regular retail hours which requires full availability as part of the job. However, you do receive more pay increases and incentives as being a salaried employee. We always try to give back to our employees as much as we can they work very hard in their day to day operations. During your tenure with our company, if you did have any problem with the HQ staff you could have e-mailed experience@russellcellular.com or talked with your sales leader in the field. We thank you again for your review.

Pros

It's relatively easy to learn the software involved, and the company mascot is cute. The customers are like any industry, hit or miss- but I enjoyed helping them with their phone troubles and understanding the technology we all rely on now.

Cons

Literally everything else. There's no clear pay scale or raise structure, and HR is not forthcoming with this information, either. The commission structure makes little to no sense, changing mid-month in a point based system, random spiffs for anywhere from a day or two to a few months. It's so confusing that there's regular trainings and quizzes on how the structure works to make sure employees come even close to understanding it. The median monthly earnings in commission are only earned by 38% of employees, not the average or majority. The training is almost useless, and focuses on convincing you you can make good money rather than teaching you anything. They push ethics and "honest sales" in preaching, but not in practice; and punish you for "underperforming" if you don't slam account with extras, lie to customers, or commit blatant fraud. They actively discourage you from helping in any capacity if it doesn't create a sale of some kind, and push extra fees onto customers for something as simple as paying your bill in person. Regional supervision isn't required to follow the same standards as company policies, and there is very little hierarchy accountability. They expect you to answer a call at a drop of a hat even off the clock, but will actively ignore you or hang up if you need something when they're off the clock, even salaried. On top of that, upper management and the C-Suite is rife with nepotism, and even Verizon thinks they pay their employees too little. Not a great look.
