Pros

It's not a difficult job, meaning that it's not difficult to understand the responsibilities of your job and how to perform them. You aren't exactly laboring under the sun (know what I mean?)

Cons

However, with that being said, it is a very stressful at times. Expectations are unrealistic and difficult to meet if you're at a low volume store like I am. You are expected to cold call customers and drive traffic to your location (because don't you just love it when telemarketers cold call you?) You are expected to simultaneously be proud of being a part of the "uncarrier" while at the same time practice some very shady sales techniques. Deception is encouraged by leadership and they are not shy about . If you are not comfortable with manipulating people into purchasing accessories and features they do not need or want, you will not have a good time. Expect to be scolded and chewed out by management. Micromanagent is a problem. Leadership demands daily updates on the number of sales. Sometimes several times a day. This is very annoying and unnecessary. God forbid a customer walks because you will be scolded. Leadership expects "no one walks." It's ridiculous, and as I said earlier, unrealistic. Training is a joke. It's very long and consists of online modules which cover policy and material which is hardly relevant to your job. Most of our group discussions were about how great T-Mobile is and how lucky we were to work for such a great company like Verge Mobile and how much money we were going to make. This should have been a red flag for me. It felt like sitting through a MLM presentation.

Thank you for your feedback! We are sorry to hear that your current employment experience with us has not been very positive. I suggest speaking to your store manager or district manager about the sales techniques you are not comfortable with. They will be able to shed some light on the hows or whys of specific selling techniques. We want to let you know that the company does not encourage pushing products and/or services to customers which they do not want to purchase as this will typically result to a return or cancellation. Please know we will provide your feedback to our senior leadership team for discussion.

Pros

Fun environment and friendly employees Good compensation for good performers Recognition for high performance Owners are ethical and down to earth

I don't have bad things to say about the company. They are a growing company and because of that you have to be someone that can handle change.
