Pros

It used to be: -great money -great coworkers -great culture -time flew by and didn't mind staying late -great benefits and incentives -regular trainings -lots of potential for growth..........so I thought

Cons

All of the above took a sudden turn in 2017 -severely understaffed. Right next door there was a verizon, t-mobile, and sprint. All corporate locations with headcounts of 9+. My store has a head count of 3 including me.(laughable) -pay was decreased -achieving metrics and goals became increasingly harder, for less pay -started getting nickel and dimed in every area -began to get chargebacks for everything, it would be listed as lump sum, good luck trying to find out the specifics of what they were for. -mistakes were made on the metric scorecard 3 months in a row, when I tried to fight for my money owed to me I basically got a too bad or too late. (this is funny because we must all recite the mission which is "to make our employees and customers genuinely happy") -over 40% of the new england region quit or was fired. -employee morale has turned pretty negative and is spreading like a cancer -sincere integrity has turned into a cut throat sales job, whether its customers of fellow co workers(at least this has been experience, in my region)

Pros

I have had some great co workers with this company that made it a lot of fun coming to work.

Cons

The pay is poor compared to other cell phone sales companies. Upper management does not base decisions off what is good for the customer or employee, but what will put more money in their pockets. The sales techniques that are taught and recommended from upper management are very shady and show a lack of standards. Much of upper management sees all employees as disposable; keeping long term employees does not seem like much of a goal to the company. Basically, the compensation is less than other companies, the management style involves being two faced and being shady, and the most you can advance in the company is to a store manager, unless you want to stay with the company for 10+ years then there's the possibility of going to a regional director.
