Dear Former Employee, Thank you for your feedback. In regards to your con of not much money to be made, I'd like to share with you some of our recent changes to our compensation: 1) There is a new hourly wage review program was put in place to assist all store sales team members. You are now in a position to receive four wage reviews in a two-year period, up from just two wage reviews in a two-year period on the old compensation system. This will allow you to get to a higher wage in 50% of the time. 2) Commission has been slightly adjusted during 2014....Verizon has adjusted their emphasis on various devices and products, and Russell Cellular has responded. However, during 2014, RC has made the commission system simpler. An "all-in" total sales target qualifies a team member for a monthly commission accelerator, versus individual targets for new activations and renewals in 2013. In addition, tablet sales count towards the total sales target and accelerators, and this was not the case in 2013.
