Pros

The comission pay is decent

Cons

Russell Cellular is one of the most overworked and under supported environments I have ever been in. During holiday season you are forced to work six days a week with blackout periods where you cannot request time off. If you use sick leave they demand a same day doctor’s note like you are trying to scam them. They constantly preach integrity yet push you to mislead customers by not leading with the correct trade in promotions to squeeze more money out of sales. The pressure from management is nonstop even when your store is slow and you have zero control over traffic. You might get lucky with a decent manager but upper leadership is awful and will not have your back no matter how dedicated you are. They care about numbers not people.

Pros

Culture, benefits, commissions, management, peers

Cons

The only negative is that they’ve changed the hourly pay year after year for new hires.
