Pros

There is some really nice long term money potential if you stick with the company long enough to reach branch manager.

Cons

So first of all the job is in face to face sales for directTV at walmart, although the contract and location may change in the future. And while most of the people working there try their best not to scam the customers in Walmart I personally witnessed a couple of complete lies made to either close out a sale or calm customers on the line which then just makes them call back madder a month later. Pay is basically pure commission but you are guaranteed 'minimum wage'/ This, however, assumes you are working only 8 hrs a day while you will really be working 10+. Pay is pretty simple with ~130 being given for each sale you make. However you are only paid for what gets installed and only about 80% of people will install so you can't just say "I got 2 sales today and made 260$". In the interview they talk about how much people make and how you should be able to make 6 sales a week, however if you do all the math you will see that this only comes out to about 9/hr and that is before you count any of the gas money you have to spend while driving an hour to some walmart in ft worth. Overall there was not a week that I made more then 6$/hr after I included gas. I should also add that our best seller, mike, never made more then 12$/hr while I was there (Jeff writes down how much everyone made the week prior in an effor to show how large paychecks are without accounting for time put in) assuming he was working 10 hrs a day, before taking into account gas. Mike however is one of the people who I would be is putting in 14+ hours a day and would often get 2-4 more sales then anyone else. You will be required to do a lot of driving, they do try and accommodate this by car pooling but that also means that you will be required to drive someone back to the office even if it is out of the way from your house. You will be required to give your phone number to customers who can then spam your phone after they told you something wrong and only realized they could not break contract after DTV installed. There are weekly out of work group meetings, some of these will be fun, however a few are so bad and cringe worthy they feel like your living in a sitcom. Everyone also just wants to talk about work during this. You will be working around 10+ hours a day and far too much of this will be in the office where you cannot make money. You also will have to track and call customers in your off time as there is no time allowed during the normal work day to handle this without having to sit in the front of the walmart. No work/life balance. There also are no benefits what so ever nor are you insured while driving or compensated in anyway for the wear put on your car. What little benefit of money that is possible to gain though this job is greatly reduced by this. Overall if you want any type of personal life (a.k.a. are weak according to other people) this is not the job for you.

Thanks for your review. We invite you to call in and let us know of anyone breaking company policy of honesty and integrity always. Since you referenced Mike, we showed him this review and he wanted to make sure people know that this review is inaccurate and he has saved up a good amount since he's been working with Team DFW (for over a year). We provide a great opportunity to earn an uncapped commission on top of a guaranteed base pay. We also are proud of our track to management, which is designed to help the right people move forward in our organization financially and professionally. We're sorry this position wasn't a good fit for you. Best of luck in the future.

Pros

If you enjoy hanging out at Walmart all day then work here

Cons

the job consists of selling directv at Walmart on the weekends. Like paying for your own gas? Good, because you don't get reimbursed for anything. No benefits.

Pros

The office has a decent food truck that'll show up every so often. Learn what AP looks like in a Walmart.

Cons

Everything. You won't make money. Worse than a used car salesmen. Dress up in a suit only to take it off and put on a direct tv shirt. Long hours no base pay. Nothing to comp for all the miles driven to get to a Walmart.

We are disappointed to read your review and would like to invite you to call our office and discuss what went wrong. We are not sure if you actually worked with us based on this review, since everyone is paid a base, and members of our sales team have the opportunity to earn more in commission. We are not sure what you mean by AP in Walmart.
